The beginning and end of a relationship

Beginnings

A nymph skips lightly across my heart

Painting it golden

In effect it leaves me breathless

Can this be love?

Shit

Sold on the false economy of your promises

I believed you were true.

Hooked on the desire for honesty

I told myself that you were the one

The one

The one who…

Then a heavy dose of reality

Showed me, too late,

It’s all just a series of fairy tales.

Same shit

Different face
