POETRY: "Marie Antoinette" By Cheryl A. Baldwin

We were separated
like a banana and its peel
I felt tossed out
... yet I was free of all the bitter implications of life.
Oh i may not understand now, but i will!
...Someday
    
Mama say he was no good for me
...but oh how i adored him dearly.
See I was in love.
Astonished by his style 
and captivated by his voice
               But still he was no good.
Creepin' through the nights at all hours and...
And I loved him.
Didn't seem to mind his wicked ways, cuz at the end of the day 
He was still mine 
and I was still his
He was my Mozart 
And i was his Antonia,
Lost in the music of love together.

     And there was always that voice in the back of my head telling me that this was wrong.
But i couldn't...
I just couldn't let go of...
 ...my love.

     ...Yes, those days have come to pass,
and even though i don't get that feeling anymore
and even though those melodic memories still parade my dreams...
I must find peace with it...!

  ...Cuz mama knows best
And she say that the rhythm in my heart will, one day, live again.
