Lessons in love

I was young and naiive
And didn’t know the meaning of love
Found it hard to understand
What was so clear to everyone else
Was caught up in things I couldn't fathom
In a web of confusion and misunderstanding
I had no way of clearing
Until you came along
And changed the way I saw things
You helped me rediscover who I was
And take pride in what I was
And even though we’re not meant to be
Even in the final act 
You looked out for me
You showed me the way
To a higher purpose
You led me to fulfillment
And went your way
For that I am blessed
We will always be friends
In the way friends are meant to be
Well wishers who mean the very best
And not casual acquaintances
Or people who foster bitterness.

Tears for fears...

I sob and sob and sob. 'coz all your carefully constructed lies  have come crashing down Raining on me in torrents The tears flow down unchecked But it feels good to cry. What else have you given me other than tears To remember you by?

Glasses tinted blue

They always talk about rose-tinted glasses That place the blame squarely on 'you' What people underestimate Are the blue-tinted ones Placed by someone else on you That obscure your view of the world And make sadness true for you I tweeted this poem to @ RealisticPoetry  in response to a picture prompt.
