I did not expect this …

I did not expect this
I did not expect to fall so easily

Shock enmeshed with surprise
That I had fallen in love

How could this be
I still cannot believe

Do my senses deceive?
Yet in tenterhooks, I open

Myself, my heart, my soul
To this blessed joy

All the wonderment
Have finally come to bear

On my once desolate existence
Finally I am truly happy

Yet like a shooting star
Does light swiftly extinguish

Dying embers of cinder
Hard black smoldering coal

Death encroaches and surrounds
My heart resonates no longer

No more, nothing
Only an emptiness

So filled with a void
That could swallow an entire soul

Hurt surrounds me
Totally and all encompassing

The pain seems unbearable
But I will strive and survive

It is a joke really cos
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts

Slip into the shadows
Cover me with the blackness

I do not want to feel anymore
Let cold, heartless ice be Me

Drive out warmth of sunshine
Cos it has no meaning anymore

Life is itself so meaningless
So myself dissolve into nothingness

I did not expect this
I did not expect to fail so easily

PS: Don’t know why I published this … perhaps it just me seeking closure for events past.
