Soon After We Did It Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

You took your magic away.
So how can I stay,
Believing in you?

When our lips first touched and kissed.
A kiss that I missed...
Soon after we did it.
And we drifted apart.
To place distant calls in harmony.

You took your magic away.
So how can I stay,
Believing in you?

Whenever I would appear,
You acted as if...
A nightmare came to visit.
With a shock that stopped you quick.

And when I came too close you moved.
To let me know your space,
Was used.
And not to share.

You took your magic away.
So how can I stay,
Believing in you?

Whenever I would appear,
You acted as if...
A nightmare came to visit.
With a shock that stopped you quick.
When our lips first touched and kissed.
A kiss that I missed...
Soon after we did it.
You left!
Did you expect me too..
To leave?
