Cosmic Irony

I think the universe is punishing me. The gods must be amused. I could have loved you, But now I am alone, And you are not. I am always alone, And you are not. My independence intimidates people, But it breaks me. I am happy for you, really, But when will I be? I never told you how I felt, And then I watched you slip away In an act of cosmic irony. I think the universe is punishing me With emptiness With loneliness With jealousy. I do not know how much longer I can keep up this act. At least the gods must be amused.
