Shameless Tears

With tears shamelessly racing down my cheeks,

L stood as the brain took a tour down memory lane,

L pondered and wondered how did we quickly become strangers.

Just an annum back we were head over heels for each other,

Or l assumed.

Day after day l act like l don't even recall your name 

When the actual fact is am battling 

And bottling the strong feelings 

And fighting the heart that keeps on shouting out your name.

How do l forget that warm embrace?

How do l forget that amazing gaze? 

You would give me that made my belly feel like a beautiful butterfly-filled garden?

How do l forget how your kisses made me feel like l was floating?

How for a minute can l turn a blind eye to the fact that our roads have bifurcated and they stand no chance of anastomoses again?

They say had we meant to be together we would still be, 

The mind wishes to understand that 

But how do l explain that to the heart that has been diagnosed with poison and you are the antidote?

Dear lover, 

If love really gives second chances 

Please tune into the USED TO BE fm 

And listen to the sad songs of my heart being broadcasted.
