You, Me, Us

LOVE-This strange single word 
Has destroyed Me, You- Us.
It seems just an yesterday
When 'LOVE' was what defined Us.
Love was bliss, an intoxicating hope
Love was a drug,life a delirium
And we were too drunk to separate Heaven from Earth.
Love was us holding hands, bodies so close that we became One.
Love was infinite, an illusion 'forever'..
For Love was the magician's juggling show,
Which he ended with his vanishing trick.

For sometime, contentment flowed in excess
We fought, of course,We cried
But that was always us.
Life was pure euphoria
And I danced, warm, in the girdle of your arms.
Burning in the heat of desire, I forgot what misery felt like
And thought, this is how life is going to be, from now on.
Naive me! I thought such intense love is meant to last!

You forgot,too,.. so you said..your old dilapidated existence..
And then, you forgot me, you forgot US.
You forgot to love, and all the love that we always had.
Instead, with your ridiculous hatred and cold vengeance 
You scared me off.

Since you forgot me, I will try to forget us.
But every solitary moment, when you sit unaccompanied,
I will be back.
You wont forget, however much you try.
You wont forget- You, Me and Us.
