Sofa Chair / A Poem

I fell in love once
And it took everything I had
I fell in love, and needless to say I never fell back
No one told me that falling isn't love
There's nothing romantic about falling
Unless your worshipping the Creator above...
I fell in love once
And I thought it was beautiful and true
Little did I know I was blinded, bewitched and confused...
Feelings are liars!
I wish someone would have shared
Feelings are temporary, illegitimate and unfair
Because I'm here now, alone in this sofa chair
Staring at an empty one.
I was in love once! and it was the joke of the year
No one told me that it's not love, if your the only one that cares.
So now I write poems, hoping someone will hear!
Feelings are good mockers of the love that isn't there.

  1. Your poem is filled with that familiar sting experienced by all those who find themselves in love with another imperfect being. Love can be filled with warmth, wonder, grit and confusion, It can warm you like a cup of coffee, bite you like the bitterness of a harsh winter, and make you feel like you are in a bottomless pit. But to love is to experience life…..and I'm wishing you many fragrant moments, filled with the essence of life. Your warmth radiates to those around you and call it Karma, call it reaping what you sow, but whatever you call it, just know that life has many wonderful moments in store for you my little friend:)
    Btw-You are a Picasso….never, ever, put down your pen!
