Funeral for the Fake

Image
Image by Pixabay free images  I returned to the old pier Days of us behind me Clutching my symbol of so-called love Between my fingers tightly Before me waves crashed The sun burned my skin Viscious seagulls fought and squawked At an overflowing bin My steps along the creaking deck A journey I must take With my heart in my hands A funeral for the fake At Captain Jack's Bar I sat a while And bought myself a drink Re-playing memories over Giving me time to think Then I took that precious sapphire heart Held it to the light Walked to the pier edge Still holding on to it tight It sparkled as I let it fall Into the murky depths of the sea You said this heart was forever But your forever wasn't with me copyright 2022 carol ann lewis

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

I Wonder

Image
  image pixabay free images I wonder if he'll miss me When the future finally calls When a gentle voice whispers my name And in love again I fall Will he regret letting me go Over a few silly words Or will his ego keep him tied To a narcissistic life on Earth Will he think of me when Im in the arms of another man Will he regret his rage And how far from us he ran I wonder what went wrong What could have changed overnight How did, How are you Become his trigger for a fight Make no mistake I'll miss him and all the time we shared And the message he sent when I was ill Gives me hope that he still cares Our eyes met for a moment today Was that sadness I could see Don't wait too long, for now at least You still have all of me

Weekend Three

Image
 It had been a whole three weeks I'd been deserted by my man He'd had some kind of meltdown And from my life he ran I was in a state of limbo Was I wanted or not? Not a word or explanation As to why he'd lost the plot My weekend was looking bleak After work Friday afternoon There'd be no smiles or kisses for me No love or laughter anytime soon But the universe was plotting My weekend behind the scenes As I went to bed at nine pm To escape into my dreams For there on Saturday morning On Facebook I did see Ten new friend requests From men, all wanting me One of them sent a photo Of a certain body part! Proudly holding it in his hand Was a very horny man! I thought I should be offended Report him to Facebook But then I thought 'Bugger it' And had another look! Off out then for rugby Drinking cider and rum Having a laugh with my friends My weekend was becoming fun Downing shots under a starry sky Log fire burning bright I don't remember going home But I know I h...
