Hidden Love. Poem by dave lessard

Did you ever love me?
or was it some charade?
you left me way too soon,
to a single man parade.

A drummer marching to a beat,
heard by a single being;
what did I miss in love,
that led to my non-seeing?

One sided love, it isn't good,
and who can keep the pact?
I thought you more considerate,
I thought you had more tact.

But I found out the secret,
that when love is locked away;
it's buried deep forever,
and will no more see the day.

When all was doomed and dreary,
you shut up and led me on;
then threw aside the key,
to unlock that door,
that told me you were gone.
