False Pretences (Fiction)

[poeticpiers]

False pretences

My once bright world now desolate.
I am condemned to loneliness.
Always alone disconsolate
I am bereft without my mate.

The sorrow I cannot express,
has left me inarticulate.
Sad thoughts I must perforce repress.
I do not wish to cause distress

to those who also loved my mate.
They do not know nor can they guess.
I do not live I simply wait
until I can rejoin my mate.

When she was here then life was sweet.
Together we knew happiness.
Without her I am incomplete.
I know the meaning of defeat.

I am consumed by hopelessness
and wish my heart would cease to beat
Bring to an end my loneliness
That’s how I feel but daren’t confess.

So I pretend and try to cheat
I must pretend to happiness
and smile at everyone I meet.
I am well practiced in deceit.

A world ends with each death.Each one of us creates our own universe
Which changes radically when someone we love moves on
