IT WASN'T
THAT YOU LOVED ME
©
Farouk Asvat
It wasn't that you loved me:
It was just that you were piqued:
By my going away
To some calling
Not of my choice
Not to your liking
It wasn't that you loved me:
It was just you imagining
Being an erotic lover
Buoyant
with sexual analysis
It wasn't that you loved me:
It was just that you were you
And I was I
In a country not our own
It wasn't that you loved me:
It was just you being vindictive
For me not being
Who you wanted me to be
It wasn't that you loved me:
It was just you being vindictive
For me leaving
For my unhappy destiny
It wasn't that you loved me:
It was just you being vindictive
For me not revealing my poems
Before they were ready to be delivered
It wasn't that you loved me:
It was just you being vindictive
For me not being who you wanted me to be
For me being who I was supposed to be
And now I am vindicated
By the absence of your love
