Poem
Once, I knew a woman Different from any before, The root of heart's known sin, The fire burning in my core. To remember the start, Her longing gaze And wishful heart For so many days. So close, yet far away, Always somewhere in my mind, Leading to the fateful day Where hate and love I do find. Giving in to all efforts made I let her through the walls I'd built, Whether from want of love's scherade Or feeling of some pent-up guilt. Closer we grew each passing day, To a dormant heart, she'd brought some life, For love, all doubts soon made way, Only to startle with rising strife. From apparent bliss, trouble grew, Between us formed gaping chasm, From by my side, she bid adieu, This hear gave no fit nor spasm. At any time, I was sure that she Would forget of strife, and teary-eyed Might surely come right back to me, Oh, a fool I was to this decide. She'd made her mind that it was through, Every act now full of hate As she did all she could do To my torture now create. My pain not in one lump sum, Day by day this heart would break, Nothing to be done would numb The throbbing pain or sobbing shake. Then, she laid her perfect plan, With my heart she'd pull and play To let me think myself her man, Until to another, she made her way. Days and days would come and pass, Always haunted by thoughts of her, Heart and soul brittle as glass, To this sorrow, I thought no cure. By this time, I've found my peace Since the time she did depart, Yet thoughts of her did never cease, Echoed now and then through beat of heart. Years have passed since that event, I've struggled through steps of grief, Feeling for her at this point spent, It seemed I'd captured my relief. Then, one day to my surprise At my door she did appear, The reason why, I could not surmise, She wished me to walk with her and hear.
