He Was and Then Wasn't

 

He brought me flowers
walked with me through October rain  
held me in warm bathroom showers
comforted me through my pain

Days turned into years  
as time's wheels spun around
then he found a younger beauty
leaving my heart on the ground  

In a whirlwind of passion
his love and desire ran wild  
he vanished without a word  
leaving behind a heart once beguiled  

Plans unfurled in silence  
a love lost in the night  
he was here, and then he wasn't  
a fleeting star, dimmed from sight

thus, here I am never trusting
never believing in anyone’s loving
unless its from me to another
I can never be sure
