Quatrain of Boomerang Love - 1081

Quatrain of Boomerang Love

Boomerang - that which goes and comes back

1.
When I fell in love with you I did
not forecast any sparks in
return,

What you did, or what you felt,
I would have to righteously
earn.

But it was a surprise when enamored
thoughts slapped my
face,

What came back to me was
boomerang love in total
disgrace,

2.
You flatly denied I existed, you
went so far as to forget my
name,

The whining and dining was
all for naught, putting me to
shame.

O, baby, if I could just throw
my love out so easily and
expected,

I would feel so empowered if it
came back imperviously
undetected.

3.
You could just go play with
yourself and pout like a childish
lush,

I wouldn't have to worry about
giving up a smitten emotional
rush.

The next time I throw passion
out for you to seize and
embrace,

I'll remember to hold love's
catcher's mitt in front of my smiling
face.
