Did you love me ?

The poem shows how our mind twists everything when we are abandoned&question everything before it,good or bad.The fundamentals change before us and we try finding answer of our inner dispute.

Can you just pretend
Pretend like old times ?
The cold winter nights
Warmed by the heat
Of our promising love
And unending passion,
Nights of laughter
Stealing glances
And winklessly
Looking at each other
The way people
Look at Monalisa
In the great hallways of Louvre,
All flash in front of me
Like the slow Mo
A deadman sees.
Precious
But stinking.
From as certain
As the sunrise tomorrow
To as uncertain
As the stray dog looks for food
In the roads of mogadishu,
I saw my reality being a hoax.
Like a vegetative state
The sensations and the love
Became pointless but
Carrying history,
History of a grand charade.
I question myself
Was our love
Just another charade to you
Like the ones
David Copperfield pulls off
Perfect but illusion
Created for muse
Destined to diffuse
In the greater oblivion.
What do you call it?
Love or another
Roundabout in a beautiful alley,
Enjoyed for the time being
Nothing constant it actually is.
Did you love me
In all true sense love means?
On rainy days,it strikes me like thunder
I keep on lamenting
How pathetically I made blunder.
How relentlessly I slander
Did you even love me?
Echoes on the walls of memory lane
Unanswered smirking on me
How petty can you be ?
But can you just pretend
Pretend like old times?

"I saw my reality being a hoax"

How utterly painful that must be to come to that conclusion. There is much pain in these lines. You convey that emotion so well and your poetic expression is wonderful.

I am asking myself, how I feel about pretense? All of us would answer that differently.

Thank you for sharing your poetry Parsa.
