Bravo

That smirk that kills me That bravo! That instills me The blunt truth you were able to see That I cherished you But you kept quiet, and I felt like a fool The fool who cared And you friend, The White Colonial Hollow Man that didn't care Pardon me for calling you hollow I know you’ve been hurt, struck by the need to prioritize Shift and allocate and customize What comes first in your life But it still hurts that the timing was not right That luck was not by my side But who am I kidding Neither luck nor time could have made this right If your heart was not by my side You sail upon a different tide And I am still stuck by the shore Looking for a grain of hope Hope that you might turn around and sail to the coast But do tell me, how come I was struck How come I favoured and noticed and you so fervourless? How can you so bluntly tell me I shouldn’t? How come I saw and you couldn’t The frustration that you have ignited Is strongly enticing, tranquilizing I gathered some courage and uttered “I care” Yet such feelings, along with many candidates, you couldn’t share Made me beat myself up, for my astounding luck! “throw it all behind you", you said without thinking twice or even considering how I felt it hurts to be rejected but you know what stings the most, what kills the most, what harms the most what makes me ache, the thought that caused the pain, was not that you didn’t care but it was when you saw my care to be a bore a bore that only became a load so I fell in to utter, shrieking silence “don’t give awkwardness space”, he said it wasn’t awkwardness that needed space but a wounded pride to be mended so fly along the course of life live your days, and so will i too bad our stars were not aligned I am done caring. For what it is to my gain, if I cherish in vain For it is better to be slapped by the Truth than kissed by a Lie so fly along the course of life and live your days, and so will I Goodbye.
