Oh You! (Inspired By A Love-Song) Poem by Meng Lim Dr

O YOU

Oh you
How could you forget
that blissful moment when we first met? (O fickle you!)

Oh you
Once my dream-maker
then my heart breaker! (O cruel you!)

Oh you
Who did promise
to love me forever - with every kiss (O faithless you!)

Oh you
Who walked away
without saying good-bye that day (O heartless you!)

Oh you
Who believed love was a game
Only to accord it a bad name (O shameless you!)

Oh you
Who now say to your new sweetheart
‘From you I'll never part'
(O deceitful you!)

Oh you
One day you would cry
When beauty to you says: Goodbye (O sorrowful you!)
O you
Now to your letter I would not reply Despite your pleading and sigh
(O lonely you!)
