Did I need to fight for your affection?

Or feel slighted by your inattention? 

Love lost, forgotten, sadly truncated.

Passion's fire, the warmth, coldly vacated.

 

You believe I need to apologise 

I don’t understand your wherefores or whys.

Misguided storyline, we lost the plot.

Mis-thumbed the page. Do you agree or not?

 

What was then, what is now, what should have been.

Fast fading from the once-happier scene.

Bad blood rising is all we can expect

Pride is the only thing left to protect.

 

Past dreams dismantled. Repudiated.

Hopes of a future asphyxiated.
