Fading Love

[myself]

Hi, I jotted down this poem this morning, it simply formed itself in my mind, and I continued working on it in the afternoon after coming from the swimming pool. It is all fiction, it’s the monologue of a girl/ lady/ man/ boy, whose love has faded away and she/ he is now trying to make sense of the experience.







Fading Love







Now I know I’ve wasted so much time

Only to make you love me

I walk on the shore

Throwing away into the sea

All the broken pieces of this memory




Pieces of life I’ve wasted

When I could have done something else

When I could have been happy

Love doesn’t make much sense




Why have I messed up with you?

What came over me?

It was all absurd

What I’ve been through

I’m trying now to understand




I see you differently now

Maybe I’m a different one too




I am tired of loving you

It’s not fun anymore

The feeling is gone

It’s hard to believe it was ever there




You look so common

You mean nothing to me

I cry when I remember

How we used to be




Who is to be blamed?

Me?

You?

Time?

It's good, and like Dietcoketree said it is something I can relate to...but it's so general. Maybe you could anchor it down a bit with some specific images. Like saying HOW the lover is different, what has changed. You know, some real concrete ideas

VERY much how I feel. A relationship of soon to be two months and it will end shortly. I see now we were meant to be just friends....
