In Spring we had our love affair,  
Harmonious and splendid;  
By Summer it was hardly there,  
And Autumn saw it ended.  

I know she found another man,  
More passionate and tender,  
And where I ended, he began  
With scintillating splendor.  

I know the sweeping verse he writes  
Makes mine seem dull and shoddy,  
And every word she reads ignites  
A flame within her body.  

I know whatever way I claim  
To be an awesome lover,  
He'll more than likely be the same,  
And more than ten times over.  

It's true he's all I hope to be,  
So I won't raise an eyelid  
When hearing later on that he  
Rejected her, as I did.

Makes one wonder if she ever truly loved either. Perhaps they were merely...pawns.

Enjoyed.
