Memory Lapse

Image
 Today you denied you knew me Walked past, looked right through me Must admit that hurt a bit Then I thought, what a tit! Cos why are your grandad pants Still draped over my chair And your ten cans of spray To puff up your hair Why do your shoes Still sit next to mine And the necklaces you gave me Still sparkle and shine Why are there photos Of you in my bed? Was it someone else I had in there instead? Come now don't tell me You can't remember that Cos the smile on your face Was like the Cheshire cat I encouraged your dreams While I put mine on hold How did you become  So heartless and cold Erased your memory I think you have Had an encounter With the Men in Black Or maybe some aliens Left beside you a pod Then crept out one night And took over your bod! You reduced our relationship To just four words 'Only speak to her' Well how absurd So I'll add to your story A dramatic plot twist From this day forward You don't exist You never did image - pixabay free images

A Strange Dream

Image
 Waiting at the bus stop I saw you passing by You paused for a moment Turned to me and smiled Then I recalled a dream I had Just that very night You'd been there in my bedroom Arms around me, tight Such a strange experience As real as life could be As is your spirit travelled Just to be with me In the dark your voice was clear As vivid as I've ever known You told me that you loved me But when I awoke I was all alone So I wonder when I dream tonight Will you return to my bed Or is it just the Horlicks Messing with my head! copyright carol ann lewis 2022 image - pixabay free images

The Betrayed

Image
 There comes a time in life When you see through the reality lens You see hate filled monsters Who you once thought were friends Your heart will sink and break From a loss as heavy as grief For in their crumbling façade Lies an evil underneath Cleverly disguised as love But not for you anymore You only have to take a breath To irritate them to the core One wrong move, it's all your fault Gives them the excuse to run away And everything you did for them Is thrown back in your face It's all been so fruitless Loving someone who doesn't care Try and deny it all you want The truth is standing right there And you feel so damn stupid As you look back on your life Trying to find that perfect gift Just to see them smile You discover you're a tear filled fool As you sit alone and cry You'd give them your very last breath While they don't care if you live or die But don't you go and give up my friend I know it's not what you want to hear There'll come a day whe...

Drinks for Two

Image
 Drinks for two That's how I knew That you were a liar A binned receipt Torn up so neat Told a tale most dire Cos I'm a nosy cow I fished it out And put it all together Drinks for two For you and who? I was at the end of my tether When I was at home Stuck all alone You were out there cheating Buying things for me? Your lies were obscene You were really meeting Someone else Now it all makes sense I don't know why you're mad Shouting at me Because I now see Why you treated me so bad Not allowed In your part of town I often wondered why Now it's revealed For all to see You led a double life It is unreal How you make people feel That you are the victim Yes, of yourself There's no one else Behaving like a cretin As for me I know there'll be Days that are much brighter And if my poem you hate Well it's too late Shouldn't have pissed off a writer copyright 2022 carol ann lewis image - pixabay free images
