My life was in tatters and then you came.
And as they said, you were as if godsend,
making my life feel new and not the same.
Of all I knew, you were my one true friend,
always so kind to me, sharing the blame;
never asking for more nor once pretend.
You gave me wings and taught me how to fly
which I then used to soar across the skies.
Indeed I felt so free, not on the sly;
doing the things I thought were fun and right.
Yet you took me back and forgave my wrongs.
Those happy times I knew they would not last.
Now you are gone, my world crumbles once more,
knowing not what I must do to be strong.

It’s been two years since you last went away.
I asked myself, why did you have to go?
Why did you not just stay for one more day?
If it’s my fault, you should have told me so.
Nights are so long since we parted in May,
but I still think of you all through the day.
I blame myself for not making you stay.
When I just close my eyes, I see your face;
pictures of you, your scent, your lips, your love,
which draws me close to you, then we embrace.
Now all of that is gone, this long lost love.
You gave me love, then you took love away.
I hate you for having loved me this way.
But that’s because you are my one true love.

I see the white, fluffy clouds in the sky
which takes various shapes as and when they like.
At times they look like lines drawn out from dyes
lining the trails needed to take a hike.
All the thin-like cirrus clouds then change shape
quickly to take the form of yet something.
The clouds may look woolly, so like cotton
which can be used to wrap one round in drapes,
minus all the patterns, frills and buttons.
They grace the skies above with so much pride.
And as I watch them float freely around,
I sigh out loud, knowing not where to hide.
I wish the clouds would know all my sorrows
then start to lift and take them far away.
