If wishes...
by Monique LouwMy mind burns with the memory of your kiss
One sweet moment of absolute bliss
A twist in my heart in the shape of you
And I wonder if any of this was ever true.
I curse the universe for the choice I had to make
For the path I would have to take
To say goodbye to you
Was the most painful thing to do.
There is no art to go with the feeling of a broken heart
No song to capture the sound of it tearing apart.
Sympatico, you and me.
But then... you and me and she makes three.
And I was always a girl for perfect primes
And imperfect rhymes.
I chose the pain
and I would choose it again
I am nothing you see,
without my integrity. 08/30/2011 Posted on 08/30/2011
