Leaving Behind


I recalled the day I bumped into you. Should I say Physically bumping? There was this cranky wall I observed; how come you haven't noticed it? It stood between us; I touched it but it never bulged My life was filled with joy before you came; I had control over my sentiments I hid behind closed doors of pain And shined bright as an Angel of Light. I knew nothing apart from you were a brainiac, who rapports with gurus anyway? Months passed as you became a passing dust My hearing was oblivious to your surroundings I felt nothing but peace. Why did you come back? It came through with a burning arrow I sat and asked myself, "Why me?" I do not deserve all this My name is pain and suffering You were cheesy and charming Claiming you were never an option In life, two things are involved; Betrayal and Living Behind. Thinking twice, I felt it much better to leave behind Emotions kill me and I leave writhing in pains It has been my best friend but became my foe at an instant I longed to search for peace. I couldn't confide in you as I saw myself unworthy of you I created the wall and I must live with it It has been my saving grace from the world It is going to guide me to my end. But you objected and forced an impediment One I couldn't condom; I decided to flee You will search and sought for me You will never find me for I am long gone You will appreciate it one day that I left behind.
