I always wondered.
What would have happened,
If i didn’t smile at you, that day.
Would we still have met?
What if I had taken a different route?
Would you still find me?
Somehow, somewhere in this pitiful world?
Sadly, I did smile.
And now, all I see is red.
The dark red dancing on the water.
The misty rain falls carelessly.
No idea of the mood it sets for me,
The pounding at the door gets louder.
Your desperation shows clearly in your screams.
I really hoped you’d shut up.
You deserve this.
You deserve this.
Because of a petty smile,
You pulled the world from beneath me
Now when the lock won’t turn,
And the water overflows the bathtub
You care?
I wished I hadn’t smiled at you.

'The misty rain falls carelessly.
No idea of the mood it sets for me,'
'Because of a petty smile,
You pulled the world from beneath me'
(it was never your smile at fault
it was merely, ill-fate's decree..)
eventually
pain fades, in its place our lessons
surface
we just have to learn to move past
our mistakes
investing in a past, pot marked by regrets
is a futile sacrifice of our precious
life...
(wonderful flow and imagery
another wonderful write
thanks for sharing, dear poet)
thank you
Dear poet this tells such a story. We never know what can lie in wait from the simplest gestures. We never really know who we're smiling at, or who's hand we may be are shaking. You describe this quite elegantly, for the pain that it caused. Good Write!
