End Of The Affair Poem by Tariq Ahmed

End of the affair, a bitter sweet fading memory
Awakening the mind, and all things sensory

Entering into the fray, risks abounded from the start
Confounded by deep emotions, tearing my soul apart

Always left in the dark, caught in a love triangle
Finally caste-off, like some outmoded fandangle

Forgiveness is my virtue, intellect is my design
But reality bites hard, no more floating on cloud nine

My need for love is often greater than its want
But the reservoir of desire is no more in this font

End of the affair, time to move ahead
Lest I fear my life alone, sorrowful and full of dread

I will love again, but someone without the baggage
My life remains incomplete, without this dual carriage
