Flirtatious Moments & A Rumour That Breaks Hearts

by Tammie   Oct 20, 2007


You were always more of a priority then I was to myself,
Ever-changing, cheating at the game and still losing.
Six feet under was always my safest bet when it came to you,
Watching my disappointed face you always found so amusing.

Frankly, I've had enough of you to last me a lifetime.
Dwelling on bad choices and a loss of my self esteem
Isn't going to get me anywhere. That's all I ever got from you;
A lesson learnt and never forgotten, a simple daydream.

Gone are the times of fulfilled promises and words of truth,
Leaving behind lost lovers at your nearest train station.
Coffee stained rings on the back of your television guide
Are the only things that have no end in a hopeful situation.

Trusting your guarantee that you aren't the same as the rest,
Sure enough, my sorry eyes didn't see the italic fine print
'One year only', I know false advertising is common these days,
But what can you blame it on? Certainly not a catalogue misprint.

Excuses, excuses, blame it on something worthwhile for once.
What did you get out of this meaningless affair anyway?
Flirtatious moments and a rumour that breaks hearts?
But why should I care, right? Finally I'm walking away.

** I'm not good with titles, and this one was a last resort. If you can think of a better one, please let me know. :] **

    I just loved this poem ... the style in which you wrote was interesting and kept me hooked from beginning to end. The long lines flowed flawlessly and the message you expressed with clear in your last line .. beautiful.

    When I read the first sentence I knew I was gonna like this piece because it was unique and wonderful.
