Was it
the strain
or the pain
or even the stain
you put on my heart?

From the start
what set us apart
was perspective,
our objectives
were different
always.

Shame that
our relationship
ended up a text-mess,
well merry Christmas
and a good tiding I hope you get.

The tide has withdrawn
for us.
And the hope?
I guess that was
mine to keep.

Perspectives change
and rearrange
but it's all the same.

Babe.
