No ReturnsA Poem by Kat ManduNo
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. © 2017 Kat ManduReviews
