You! Poem by Tharindu Atukorala

I lie awake on my bed each night
I toss and turn with no way out
I’m thinking of you each day and night
I look around and see your smile
I close my eyes I see your eyes
I shut my ears and hear your voice
You haunt my dreams, fill my thoughts
Your lips I feel your warmth I miss
A love so pure? Too good to be true
My heart aches, I miss you so
You I thought a creation of god
Perfect and faultless with magic in the air
I was wrong I know now
Empty words and broken promises
i cannot believe the lies you told
You my love, Satan’s son
You I wish I never loved!
