LOVE ON PAUSE

You told me you love me

these overused words which I had grown so accustomed to has now left me in confusion and speechlessly remote of its true meaning

My heart now carries a vacancy symbol

refusing to let anyone in

meanwhile my mind reflect on the matter with utmost caution

‘Tis accurate that a broken heart

mends with time but one seldom

remembers that the offended mind

forgets rarely the incident which parted the whole

Written in 1989
