Love or Money
A poem by Amir S.
I did my best for you
then you showed your true self
I found out about your ex
my universe flipped
When I first saw your beautiful face
I thought it was about sex
We talked for hours
about star crossed lovers
Romeo and Juliet
Layla and Majnun
At the foot of the mountains
we gathered flowers in fields
Walked down halls together
talking as friends
We held hands knowing
people would gossip
We did not care
about those false stories
Talking for hours about movies and life
We were like a remedy for each other’s scars
We counted millions of stars
imagined the future of our love
I thought you were for real
A woman who heard my feelings
I thought we’d change the world
with our thoughts and words
To follow our dreams
we were ready to borrow for love
When I was with you hard times were good
I believed life could be awesome
Till you fell for someone else
He had more money
My heart is broken
Was it all just lies
Was it only about money
You were the reason
to live to die
You betrayed us
dropped our dreams for his money
What did you think honey
That I’d love you always
There are plenty of others
Women who will love me
For who I am
For what I believe in
I’m finished with you
Goodbye forever
It is my life not others
It is the thing that matters
