Sorry May

Sorry May,

I thought our story was beautiful

but everytime I share,

Friends turn faces of such dismay.

Knowing how much we tried connecting

the dots,

Least' we learnt to become better adults,

is it not?

I dont know, what do I really know?

Her beauty I adore

but in her abode I feel alone

Need for connection starts to prone;

Surprises me we've come this far

Now we drift apart-

With Tears at your pillow and

my frowns at fall,

How things should've played out,

We'll never know.

Thought I could afford

a so called 'happily ever after'

Seeing friends and families

work out through the complexities

Leaves me thinking-

This Love game's just not for me

or you and I aren't meant to be.

Much coping involved, I know.

But you know that I hate superstitions

Guess I wasn't special at all,

We're just another line in a corny love song

So I'll just write this poem

in hopes that you'll see

Deep down I'll carry a part of you with me,

Sorry our harmony fell out of key,

I'll probably be numb myself and just be.

At one point, you were the best

None to ever come next

and anyone else in our way?

Mere collateral damage.

Consider this trilogy of a ballad

A last effort attempt,

grasping at what once we had

Try and translate it to the readers head

trial and mishaps we've made

Capture lightning in a bottle twice,

my pain, I'll share

It was indeed love and war

so it's all fair

You know I'm a fan of horror stories

and grim ends

But I wont allow a song about us

just be that.

So, I'm so sorry May.

We're Taylor cause

we've known all too well

The more we try for change,

The more we stay the same

Another dawn, another day.

And every time I pass our favorite stall

I'll give a glance, maybe a bit of smile

and keeping mind our bittersweet end.
