Love,Delhi

My heart,
Betrays me,
At the shape of your name,Delhi.
It never felt like some cosmic relation,
Like when I was kid ,I never cared of your existence,
All I've ever dreamt for is to be somewhere new,
I didn't care where or with whom.
So why do I feel this hurt,
At the sound of your name,Delhi.
Maybe because I had you for a while,
Now I have nothing at all.
Maybe because you were the home,
I was looking for so long.
It never felt like a cosmic relation,
But I'm grieving for my desertion of you.
What we had feels like a dream,
I'd recapture it,replay it,rehearse it,
The love once was,is now just a memory,
I'd forget,but I'll never forgive you,Delhi.

We always rue the past. I live on a small island Malta. Originally from another town but mainly in Sliema. Years ago it was beautiful. Now money ruined it, with tall buildings, small apartments and the high cost of everything under the sun. I have never been to your part of the world though I know about it. I stuck to Europe and only once went to Brazil. Now I'm too old and sick for travelling. A poem to digest. We all change and hate such change.

We tend to hate those things more which we once loved the most. Hope you find peace with wherever you are.
