'Knock knock' the tapping came at my heart door,
constant and loud,
until I rushed to see who it was.
It was my friend who was warmly welcomed
with rapture and smile.
'What do you want' I asked.
'you' came the reply.
Amazed I asked why.
She said 'your friendship I need'.
'My pleasure' I curtsied.
In joyous success days passed
Budding hopes.
Bed of roses it was in it's early tide.
Until 'EXPECTATIONS' soared his wings
On friendship which was unblemished and nice.
It started with tiffs and upsets.
Quickly to anger and doubts
At things which earlier were allowed.
Uncomfortableness crept it's arms,
into which 'EXPECTATIONS' has led.
The cute and new friendship
In it's morning glory,
Depressed, was rummaging
for answers of circumstances
That compelled the sweet tongue spell contradictions.
'You are a sweetheart,
I know you would understand' she said in our recent past.
'Now why did I think you'd understand' said the same girl, today.
It pierced my cerise heart
With anger and pain.
Why does the heart forget
that once 'EXPECTATIONS' set foot,
It will be broken again,
Anon.
'EXPECTATIONS' is the root of sorrow and pain.
It's not like she loves me no more.
It's just that human nature cannot be defied.
Dedication and time it shall expect,
once close to heart they come
But this isn't the first time then why does the heart not realise that 'history repeats itself'.
