Romance Redacted

Wish I knew why.

Romance Redacted

You played me for a fool,

through many seasons

changing hues,

through too many years

hoping and

waiting for you.

If I kicked back

you slaked my suspicions,

my hurt,

with the intoxicating wine

of guilt.

Thus I hung

among the stars,

head bowed in supplication,

feeling

I had let you down.

But reality dawns

when the sun fails to rise

for so long

and only cold,

fleeting shadows

full of smoke

greet your kisses.

But now I know

that when 'love' hides

its face

in the pages

of the internet,

tis foolish to trust

such blatant insincerity.

[Josie E. Cook M. A.]

No trust or loyalty here,
so the love isn't felt or it never
shows in the ways of true form.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Exactly Josie. Many thanks.

[Lydia Shutter]

Ah, internet love is not real in any way, shape, or form, is it? The rhyming in this is great, John...and the emotions come through loud and clear. Lydi**

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Indeed tis true although some find romance in its murky depths. Many thanks Lydi.
