Our Love II

The sands of time kept on funneling
stirring poignant memories
exploring long forgotten feelings
whiffs of despair drifting
across the expanse of loneliness
the journey of love
you begun in earnest

The legacy of love you left
was illusory
a medley of sadness
full of melancholy
perfidious promises
your images of life a mimicry
your vows of faithfulness a mockery

The sands of time trickled slowly
you’ve left me all lovelorn and forlorn
whilst you continue with your sojourn

When the sands of time are all blown away
our love will never again hold sway
the hurts and the pains
will start all over again
when all the traces of our love are all gone
its time for me to soldier on

What will be left with me at best
are the remnants of our tryst
and the lingering memories
of our love not meant to be !
