DON’T BLINK

Sparks filled the air
Stars fell from above
I was elated
So madly in love.

No one before you
No one ever since
Could make me feel special
Let the magic begin. 

Walks by the river
Alone in the night
The cool summer breeze
Beneath the moonlight.

Your hands on my shoulders
Your warm firm embrace
The look in your eyes
The smile on your face. 

Forever and ever
Till the end of time 
I long to be with you
Said you’d always be mine. 

A party to lust
A complete sacrifice
Sharing our secrets
In the darkness of night. 

No second thoughts
Alive in the moment
No need to confess
Or beg for atonement. 

A plan for tomorrow
The rest of my life
You said it’s forever
You’d make me your wife. 

No need for alarm 
No need to think twice
No idle suspicions 
Or rolling of dice. 

A clear path ahead
Complete loyalty
No reason to doubt
Your allegiance to me. 

But, in a blink of an eye
You had found someone else 
I had no idea
No way I could tell. 

Cold and detached
Somebody new
Not the same person
Not someone  I knew.

A collision , a crash
Abrupt isolation
Pulled and untangled 
Without hesitation. 

My eggs in one basket
Yes, I was all in
From the day that I met you
To  the last bitter end. 

Out of the rubble
After years in a cave
Decades upon decades
Till I lay in my grave.
