I Learnt a Song...

I learnt a song
For you, who never knew and never asked
I learnt a song
My pain was real, and so was my love
But my face, forever a mask
Across a shadowy trail you walked
I sprinkled clues like dew drops
I learnt a song, for you
But a wistful one, you never were
I walk along twisted roads, knowing I will be alone
I ask myself why I care, why I don't let go
But sometimes, there is comfort
Even in insanity
Even in madness
In the knowledge that there will never be a "we"
But there is comfort
In your memories
Have I ever told you
That I never forgot anything you ever said to me
That I love the way your eyes crinkle when you smile
But if I tell you,
Would you not avoid me for a long while?
I learnt a song
For the man who should have never come along
Because in loving him, I have forgotten who I am
And in loving him, it is so wrong
Because I seek the comfort of madness, insanity
And forever live in the shadow of the knowledge
There will never be you and me... Copyright Petrichor and Clouds 2013 at petrichorandclouds.blogspot.com Please do not reproduce the material published here.
