While it lasted

While it lasted
 Sharon Maria MoemiseÂ
It was just a call for attention
That continued for years by extensionÂ
The most of what was companionshipÂ
The rest got lost, I guess we let it slip.
Complacency replaced all traces of romance
Regard for one's feelings turned to ignorance
It was over almost as soon as it started
That's  probably why I'm not broken-heartedÂ
Love? We both searched and found nothingÂ
Neither were willing to give it their everythingÂ
Not when his heart belonged to one I can't fight
Somewhere out there, I might still find my knight
I used to feel so lonely when we were apart
Then it became lonelier as I gave him my heart
My cries and laments for attention fell on deaf ears
Alas! I have to stop, 'ere I drown in my tears
Do I continue in my quest for elusive love
Or just fly away like a frightened, stricken dove?
I have one heart that can't keep getting trampled on
So, finally, I think it's time to pack up and be gone.
Time, he says, is something he doesn't  have
for sweet little nothings and all that jazz
He will be too busy to spend another moment
of listening or hearing my hearts tormentÂ
I learnt to follow his  art against my better judgmentÂ
My interest and faith were put down as amusementÂ
I watched sports cos I wanted him to be impressed
But I realized afterwards, I was just another self oppressed.
