Slip of the Tongue

Just a slip of the tongue, a misused word,
My whole world tumbled, your love swiftly flew;
My rock turned to sand, love is so absurd,
Not like the written word of poets old and new.

Change came so fast, my dreams collapsed so soon,
I'll never plan ahead again, nor dream, such
Dreams I had for us and that big smiling moon,
That smile faded now, don't see it half as much.

So rest it must, that ghost of yesterday,
Never to shadow me again, to taunt or please,
Gone with the wind, it was not meant to stay,
Leaving me dead, without a hint of breeze.

I feel no pain, just numbness through and through,
My heart a vacuum, my soul so blue.
