The long road in search of love |
DISILLUSIONED You said you loved me, My first love. But all you wanted were my marbles. I saw you, In the playground, Gloating over Julie’s because they were bigger. I fell out with you and love. You said you loved me, My teenage sweetheart. But all you wanted were my records. I caught you, At that party, Admiring Kate’s collection because it was better. I fell out with you and love. You said you loved me, My holiday romance. But all you wanted was a quick fling. I lost you, When the train departed, Letters you promised to write never arriving. I fell out with you and love. You said you loved me, My college Romeo. But all you wanted was my virginity. I caved in to you, Gave you my all, Then took a back seat as you cast your spell elsewhere. I fell out with you and love. You said you loved me, My husband-to-be. But all you wanted was my soul. I couldn’t breathe, In your cloying enclosure, Your jealous obsession suffocating my spirit. I fell out with you and love. You said you loved me, My secret lover. But all you wanted was a diversion. I succumbed to your charms, Behind closed doors, Risking everything until you tired of your plaything. I fell out with you and love. You say you love me, My man of the moment. But I wonder what it is you want from me. Yes, I love you too, With a heart that aches, To hold you in my arms for eternity. Will you fall out with me and love? |
