Love Ends In October

Victory was yours
Prizes were lures
You screamed like a kid
when I became yours

This game is not your first
But you’ve been through thirst
I pour the love that you need
So, I placed you my first

Glory was our upper hand 
The trophy was a grand 
We were too perfect for a “match”
It was exciting beforehand

Rules have quickly changed
My shimmer made me estranged
“Don’t you like what you see?”
I see everything has changed.

Communication matters
Our mosaic shatters
Should trust be our issue?
If love is all that matters

The bout ends with no closure
I destroyed my composure
An explanation should not be a ghost
I need proper closure.
