You caught me lost in reservations weighing wrongs in happenstance, On the tracks to never knowing the needles of romance. As I stood the world twirled faster, chances blurred like shooting stars Past the blind man left lamenting that one of them was ours. I saw you smiling at another who wrapped you in his tenderness But missed the whispers of deception that lay in your caress. It’s a bitter draft that never knowing, a drink I thought I’d never taste, It cuts the tongue and twists tomorrow ‘til everything’s displaced. So here I am derailed and broken - a shadow in a shallow world Who caught each kiss you ever gave and every blade you hurled. I’m on my way to never knowing down a spur of happenstance Heading downbound and as close as I can get to no romance. |

what an excellent rhyming here! The theme is a bit sad but touching. I can relate to this, and that's what makes a poem so good for me! great rhyming, indeed  love it! |

You seem to be on your own passing shadows – which means I must be doing something wrong, never mind I’ll endeavour to persevere.  Thank you for reading |

What an enjoyably sophisticated I-lost-at-the-love-game write. And fine rhyme to boot! |
