Faded

Last weekend

You had a party

Another that I was

Not invited to

Last week you said

You loved me

But I saw straight through

Last Tuesday you said goodnight

Hours

Before you went to sleep

Last Friday you wouldn't talk

Not a whisper

Not a peep

Last Saturday

You were invisible

But Sunday you tried to tell me

Who kept you and where

And

Today

I will say

Our love has faded

Even more than it has been

You just don't seem to care

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This poem is 100% from my own imagination. Not one bit of it is true. I was once told by a friend that you can only write what you know, but I don't know heartbreak so therefore that statement is untrue.

Heartbreak

is: living so thoroughly that when you learn he has two other women, your blood boils and you consider buying a gun and four bullets. That is heartache and I seldom write about such truths. That is why my motto is: Poets are liars. Non-fiction us for biography, poetry is about artistry and craft and telling whoppers. I'm just sayin'. ~ Lady A ~
