When he doesn't love you

When he doesn't love you
and all you have are his sunglasses,
you wear them to disguise
overwhelming emotion
spilling out
through your eyes.

When he doesn't love you
and he is at your centre,
your heart contracts
so that he can not enter
making it difficult to breathe
though you still beat.

When he doesn't love you
and your heart just doesn't get it,
your mind will try to accept it
but in the battle of reason,
love
always has the last word.

When he doesn't love you
and he has said goodbye,
and you're fed up
of asking why,
you sigh
and hold on tight
to his sunglasses.
