Too much history behind this poem... the end of a super-long-term-perfect-relationship... betrayal across long distances... denial of a cheater's follies (by EVERYONE in the relationship except on-lookers)... wrong decisions... siding with love that deceives rather than honest, protective, open friendship... no more contact with either of the people involved (yet!)... trying so hard to reach out, and she's just shrinking in a dark corner with the "love of her life who can never do anything wrong"!!!
How To Save A Life?
There's a little bit of me
In the world today
It's dreary and blue
And gloomy-grimy-grey
Clouds of destruction
Loom threateningly over her head.
Shrugging off friendship & honesty,
From the scene we could have fled
Friendships could have remained...
Sustained & strong & still intact!
And we could have picked her up
After she fell on her face flat.
But we wanted to prevent
The agony of a future with him.
She deserved so much more...
And the chances of his obliging, were slim.
He let her go so callously,
And she wasn't even aware...
She looked up to him, stars in her eyes...
He looked down, condescending, never even there!
If there was an open manhole,
I'd push & shove him through it...
Slap him & swear & glare at him,
Manoeuver and make his giant frame fit!
I'm filled with bitter cynicism
Surely true love doesn't exist...
It's all a glassed illusion
Everything shatters- love, peace, bliss...??!!!

"Surely true love doesn't exist..."
lovely fuckin lovely...warms up my fucking heart
True love..sacrificing, selfless, u-can-hurt-me-n-i-will-still-love-you category of love only happens between parent-offspring and pet-owner. No other love qualifies...bursting your bubble?
