A Love Wasted Elegy

People come and go,
Stay and grow or maybe even be done and blown,
but I know for sure,
that our love is through.
You were my first love, and oh, how I loved the way we bonded like two rivers.
The precious way we hung out together on Friday nights, going all the way to Denver.
Our first kiss by the stairs, and oh,
how that rememberable way
I stared into your luscious brown eyes, you know.
That wicked day,
you were cast away,
and we would soon be apart.
But when you came back,
I started to react,
on the way I saw a terrible change
in you.
Your eyes didn't show affection or sympathy anymore.
Like your eyes turned cold
with hatred and shame when you looked at me
with a face full of dullness.
You've changed and I believe this change is horrible.
I still remember when you were cute and adorable.
You showed me true love
and I thought that the heavens and above
gave me a prince that would sweep me in his arms.
Instead you were a frog,
and I should have known all along
not to trust this new change in you.

I love the line, "I loved the way we bonded like two rivers." The imagery and symbolism are very powerful.
