The burnt novel
On a broken chair, I sat as it creaked like an old bicycle.
And I gazed upon the sun as it gently faded into the horizon.
With a tear in my eyes, I heaved a sigh as I looked at the torn pieces of my favorite novel.
I smiled as I glanced through the burnt pages because I had the memories of it locked away in the deep recesses of my heart.
The flames of hurt and pain couldn't reach the treasure I stacked in my heart.
As the dusk came upon us,
I felt a sharp pain in my chest.
No, the treasure chest of my thoughts. Someone was reaching out to me but I couldn't see who it was.
I felt like a sinking ship cos I was drowning in my thoughts.
Then came an echo "you hurt me".
The vibration of the voice broke the walls of my pride and opened doors to Humility.
I now know my wrongs.
I've made a mess.
This ain't no probability that'll require a coin toss.
I'm at loss cos I'm the tail.
