Description

I saw you in a dream, said she,
you were only then a prophesy.
Or maybe it was fate, my dear—
though it mattered not to me.

The world a-buzzing, and I care free
to partake of life's forays.
Too busy to ponder broken hearts—
just living for today.

Then you came into my life, my dear,
and I took you—soon—for granted.
I thought you stifled me, my dear—
your feelings were soon supplanted.

Abrogating our time, my dear—
our kindled kinship was expunged.
A ripening apple soon was soured—
I'm now my own worst bitter judge.

I saw you in a dream, said she.
The bitterest of hypocrisy—
to charge you with a selfishness
when I only lived for me.

I saw you in a dream, my dear.
It should have come to no nonplus.
The world consists of relationships,
but I never thought of you—or us!

But you, my dear, got no warning—
though we may be born to depart.
I coldly killed the years of cheers
and learned my lesson with dark heart.

Though I know you're somewhere else, my dear,
I send my solemn apologies—
We could have shared such joy and pain,
but now I'm just with me.
