No More Optimism [poetry]

You took hold of her,
You abused her,
And threw her off the window.

She felt so crushed,
She agonized in pain,
Thus left, she bled in the rain.

But you came back to her,
Fell down on your knees,
And asked her to forgive.

No more optimism
No point in building
On bases that are collapsing

As the sun was rising,
You made scrambled eggs,
And brought her breakfast in bed.

She felt so delighted,
Jumped on you excited,
You lost hold of the plate.

No more optimism
No point in building
On bases that are collapsing

You looked for the perfect ring,
All was there for the wedding,
You in black and she in white.

Her face smiled under the veil,
Her dress danced like an aquarelle,
But she stepped on it and down she fell.

No more optimism
No point in building
On bases that are collapsing

Years just went by
In your senseless life
And you often tried and tried.

But in the end you wouldn’t make it;
That’s how she woke up of her dream
Realizing you’d thrown her off the window.

No more optimism
No point in building
On bases that are collapsing
