My tears glistened dazzlingly on the floor
While you were leaving me forlorn
Pacing anxiously and remorsefully
To your "carefully" embroidered "home"
Pondering how you could ever forget this unfulfilled love
"Should I have chased after a broken soul?"
I wondered while musing over our days on the shore
But you had already disemboweled
My all this time meticulously protected bones
With your so-called smoothened claws
Is it hard for you to understand
That I erase our memories
As if they are
Some kind of devils line-up?
Or do I have to show scars
That can be seen
even from where you so-rattled relax?
But my mind harks back to the days of yore
On the very first night of my favorite trist
When you got on one knee
And offered to shield me
Eternally ...
Words out of my ken
I admit ...
So don't go and tease
my frequent visits down memory lane
When you held my hand by the sea
And we talked for hours about future dreams
Pushing me gently to become a better me
And vowing to call me yours
Since I was the love you've always been looking for
Daily I'm haunted by our laughs echoing under the starry sky
With the moon shining right before your dazzling brown eyes
And my heart pounding louder and louder as you kissed me softly on the one side
And daily I fight
with the soldiers of the night
To remind my self
That you took me out of my nest
To protect me from the rest
With good intentions on your mind
But you weren't strong enough
And I fell
Deserting my fragile feathers with a bloody mark
And
if I can utter those last words with my mouth
I would say with all my morals crumbling down
"I wish our souls could interlink one last time "
I wish my eyes have never met yours that night"
But as the writer of my story
Repeatedly quotes
To obliterate my worries
And fill the creation of my void
"It's never too late to bounce back
And take your little life to your hands
For you can not live a life in the dark
Under the shadow of a puzzled man
Who couldn't water your blooming heart
No more than few months!
You need to create your own happy lark
And find your other half!"

Writing from another perspective is great practice in understanding more than knowing but feeling and the two are far different. A lovely write that's feelings came through. How some young like newly potted plants dies while others live. Who's to say why and blame never brings them back. Loved the poem
