She - Ms Koya

[This one is dedicated to a good friend of mine]

She loves me, she loves me not.

Night and day, she blows cold and hot.

She was a leprechaun, a chameleon

As fleeting as a skewed dandelion.

She hurt me, pushed me to the edge

She left me on the precipice, hanging over the ledge

Love and emotions strengthening my hold.

As I watched her leave me in the cold.

She was my archenemy, yet my other half.

She cackled as we struggled, a piercing laugh.

I was hurt like never before, I didn't understand.

I tried to find her, tried to grab her hand.

But she turned away, with no words to be said

As all hell was set loose and running in my head.

She didn't know it, but she killed me all over again

With no ammunition needed, just her ambiance, wielding pain.

As I masked my hurt by being plain,

She watched me turn away where I had lain.

With my perception gradually slipping away, 

I realised she wasn't mine, come what may.
