Delusion of Love: Part I

This is the first part of my new poem 'Delusion of Love', I hope that you will like it.

Part I

I thought I was in love

But it was a mere illusion

Oh! My Lord why did you

Gave me such delusion

She came to me slowly

With her sweet intoxicating smile

Inebriated with her charm

On my dreams I lied.

As the days passed

And trust grew stronger

Within me I knew

I couldn’t hold any longer.

One day she told me

There’s a guy she liked

For five years she’d loved him

My world came crashing by.

Gathering my self and emotions

I prepared to say goodbye

She said, “Hey! There stop!”

“It was past, doing flyby.”

A faint smile sickled in my face

When her eyes shown and twinkled

As she mentioned me as “Special friend”

Her voice did a jingle.

For her happiness I prayed

To Saints and Gods above

A feeling of eternal longing

is what I felt for her.
