Shards of light reflecting
from my prism heart
Each one quietly searching
not knowing where to start
You told me
you would always love me
This was said with your soothing
voice and smiles
By my side, you said
you would always be
Even now across these many miles
Twenty years came and went
Scattered memories lay in my heart
and visions swirl in my head
Treasure box full of love letters
many never sent
A thousand dialogues rehearsed,
and yet were never said
And then you came back to me
Full of excitement and devotion
You said, in your heart
I’d always be
Pledging your love
with such passionate emotion
You invited me to walk
the path of love and joy
Exploring the old and
anticipating the new
I warned you of how fragile
my broken heart could be
I was assured all was well again
You and I were to be “We”
My fears were consoled
my hopes became high
Only to learn that your devotion
was merely a lie
My darling "Damiridaja"
You said “forever”
Just a word that came and went
And so I am again the fool
My lover was not heaven sent
He is a mere man
Not a strong one at that
Wrapped up in his own pleasures
Too selfish to let me go
Too weak to love me true
And so the time is coming
I know I must concede
And reclaim my old fantasies
Leaving me still missing...
...the you I once knew
