Never Ever - Mel Afoa

 

Sitting here listening to Kanye,

The word ‘heartless’ etched into my head,

Wondering when everything started to go pear-shaped,

Was it something I said?

 

Thought you and I were meant to be,

Thought there was a reason we were together,

Never thought there was an actual finishing line,

Never ever.

 

To describe you as ‘heartless’ would be the best description,

Coz that is exactly what you are,

Beautiful as a mystique sunset, yet flawed to the core,

Innocent as the halo of an angel, yet poison like tar.

 

My love for you was eventually one-sided,

Seeing as you never thought we’d be ‘forever’,

Never thought I’d be the only one thinking so,

Never ever.

 

Indeed was I a downright fool for believing, not seeing,

That I was not the only one who held your heart.

So many others that fell victim to your games,

Could you even tell us apart?

 

Trusted you enough to give you my all,

Spoiled you rotten in jewellery, gold, leather.

Never thought I’d be played, and even cheated on,

Never ever.

 

Trying to pick up the pieces now,

Crushed by a human so heartless,

Piecing pieces back with cheap glue and useless sticky tape,

Vacuuming this mess.

 

Putting things back together, brooming up the pieces,

In this gloomy weather.

Never looking, walking and running back,

Never ever.
