No Returns

No Returns

A Poem by Kat Mandu

No returns

No knock on the door

Sword fights cancelled

What happened to before?

I knew you so well,

Why did you rip my heart apart?

And cast me into hell.

I’m sure you hurt as well.

What was your reason?

Do please tell.

Brother straight from darkness,

Sister in an endless night.

Months on, it still aches.

Senseless pain from an undying fight.

Please speak a word, even just for my sake.

Instead we’re far apart and silent.

Words ripping, heartless, ever so violent.

Let me know of my mistake,

Ease my broken soul.

I’ll never forget this bond you stole.

And, despite anger, I shrug it off

I aim for the light,

Like a fearless moth.

The band plays but I cannot hear,

Without you I would have drowned in fear.

I have a question:

Was it all a lie?

Is it time for kinship to die?

You needed me, a time now lost.

Was it the girl who broke our bond?

I can’t believe you forgot the pond.

Water home to a floating duck.

Did you forget what I gave you?

Or do you ignore and give no f***s?

Walks at dusk,

You saved me from the hell of HUSK.

Now the heroism is all but left.

I’m alone, weeping and bereft.

Don’t turn your back,

Please look at me.

Eye to eye,

Please set me free.

Girls come and go.

Sisters remain and don’t take no.

For an answer.

Silent smiles

And no pro dancer.

What we are

And what we were-

How did we get this scar?

How did the distance become so far?

This twisted world cut me deep

I remember your face

And I cry until I sleep.

I know I’m stuck, a useless NEET,

If you were here, you’d help me find my feet.

I know for sure you’d stand beside me.

Unbreakable.

We would read each other,

Care for one another,

Stay strong, my brother.

Please understand,

I’d give back my gift,

To hold your hand.

Honest, strong and worthwhile words and thoughts.
"We would read each other,
Care for one another,
Stay strong, my brother.
Please understand,
I’d give back my gift,
To hold your hand. '
I liked the complete poem but the above ending stood out. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
