Why Did I Love You
Forever is long gone,
Tis tomorrow we bid farewell,
Now is reckoned,
Today is that reality.
The bell is tolled,
Walking down the aisle,
It's that resplendence,
My bride once my pride,
All but nostalgia.
How did this come to be?
romance all brilliance
bereft of tolerance,
Perchance all is nuisance,
Capacity full of clutter
Read the rest of the poem Show less
Pshaw! What a charade.
Were memories fungible,
trying despite blemishes of self,
my question still arises,
Why did I love you?
