I Never Loved You
written by: Fizle Sagar

If ever you loved me,
Amongst the clouds and mountains,
Amongst the burning fires,
The boiling rivers,
The blackened lands,
You loved me beyond light.
If ever I loved you,
I could not accept the touch
Of your damaged hands.
Your broken limbs,
Your covered eyes.
I never loved you.
It was then I spoke and
Your face turned towards me.
My skin burned at your
Sightless gaze.
I looked away.
I had always loved you.
There, I’ve said it.
Love has broken both of us.
Your body, my mind.
Destruction and illusion,
A game we played and lost
Together – broken.
But what of love?
If that is what remains,
Changed and unchanged.
Cold embers of a burnt-out fire,
It remains the same
I still love you.
I've come late to writing but now it's like an addiction, constantly in my thoughts. I'm a painter and have a rescued ex-racing greyhound whose ability to sleep I would love to emulate. I live on the south coast of England although originally from Lancashire and am currently editing my first novel about the adventures of an unemployed weaver caught up in the American Civil War during the Lancashire Cotton Famine.
