Trick of Love
I cannot understand it-
How it’s turned out this way.
At first you followed me around,
Flirting and wooing, in my way.
I guess your wooing worked though,
because I fell in love.
But what I cannot understand is
how unequal it’s become.
I heard someone say somewhere once
that love does not exist in equal shares.
That two people will always love -
in unequal pairs.
I don’t know if I believe this,
But I know I feel it’s true
that I’ve grown to love you more,
that you love me less than you used to.
When you would’ve traded the world for me,
I wouldn’t have done the same.
But now I feel the opposite -
that this love is not a game.
The tables have turned,
the roles reversed -
I cannot understand it.
Loving under these new terms.
Now I am the fool in love,
and you, the indifferent object.
When did the roles reverse?
I cannot understand it.
