Never found again
12th-November-2023
It’s a tale of a long,
confusing journey that I write.
Shattered at this very young age.
Ours was a bright future ahead,
didn’t I dream of it every day?
We were together with a passion so same.
You were the king of words,
I had the wisdom of the worlds.
Where did it all go wrong, I wonder?
Maybe we grew up.
Whatever the reason,
it is for sure our souls will never be found together,
ever again.
Will never be seen together.
Were we ever even close?
But those times felt so real
when we denied reality,
and jumped into our own.
What went wrong, I wonder?
Maybe we fell in love.
Maybe we saw the reality.
She sits here now, pen in hand,
delivering her soul to a piece of wood,
telling it all to nature.

After nature does things to her, why,
why not complain back?
It was our nature:
beautiful skies,
mesmerizing stars,
alluring forests,
and the world was ours.
And the complaints shall it get.
So, let’s hurt each other, time after time,
not caring about the other’s feelings.
And so, our story ends here,
witnessing a long tale of woe.
The lines of our fate may intersect, maybe.
But I neither hope nor pray.
Your miseries and my joys interweave.
Oh, what an irony, is it not?
The wisher avoids intimacy.
What a dull person you made her.
But she is only so for you.
You ask about her love for you?
It lost its life in a duel,
fought between heart and mind.
Others were present there as well.
Harsh thoughts, hurt feelings,
Spilling eyes, deafened ears.
All of this, the gift of several years.
Perhaps when you hear of her demise,
be sure to announce this upon her tombstone:
“Never found again.”
