Like shiny pearls on a string,
You speak sweet and optimistic,
The smoothest words you pick.
But these words, you squander on me
No longer impress, nor affect me.
Neither eases my grief nor pain
Given by you, but, again
I heard you affirm,
But do you ever conform?
You want me to trust you
Once more, to forgive you!
Trust is like an eraser,
Each mistake makes it smaller.
I think, of the futile pain
Given by you, once again
You promised, you assured,
You said I am not being fair,
I listened to your romantic claims,
Not believing, all the same.
Once more, I would have given in
But I know, once more, you will fib
The hurting, the sadness, the pain
Given by you again, and, again.
I believed you time after time
Now it’s time to get off the dime
To walk new roads, new places to visit;
Time, not to forget, but to forgive,
To say goodbye and departing;
And look forward to a new starting;
To declare the end of the endings;
And trust the magic of new beginnings....
