I saw the way you looked at him

-Enamored 

.

.

Like he was the one that broke the mould

.

.

you loved him 

With appreciation 

.

.

He was Midas 

And you wanted to live surrounded by his gold 

.

.

I saw the way he looked at you 

-Enamored 

.

.

He gazed downward upon you 

Like a fragile chick he wanted to nurture 

.

.

He fed you

kept you warm

.

.

He nestled you on his lap 

Cursed all the fears away in rapture 

.

.

But he dare not touch you 

He dare not lose you 

Although it broke his heart in every way 

.

.

He hurt himself 

For every moment he wanted you to stay 

.

.

One morning you woke

He fawned over you adoringly 

.

.

You saw that your touch brought mountains 

oceans to rooftops of glory 

.

.

You shunned your own fears 

You kept yourself warm 

.

.

You no longer needed him to keep you safe from the storm 

.

.

You made your own palace 

With walls deep 

And walls strong 

.

.

And you told him 

“I’m sorry

I do not love you anymore”
