A Journey to ClosureA Poem by Lakshmi Ramesh
Won't regret any past moments
Won't regret coming to know you But won't deny the relief from imprisonment From the chimerical cage I was put in by you The cage seemed pretty and comfortable Seemed like Atlantis was found But when I woke I saw the bars The hard metal that held me bound So sudden it was, the vicious change Felt like a splash of cold water A rush of pain, a burning sting Thought I'd never get better Months and months I waited For a glimpse of somethingI once knew Months and months I hoped Maybe there'd be a change in view Eventually hope burns out The candle always melts down Eventually got sick of playing The ping pong game with no ending Back and forth million words exchanged Some nice, some in utter rage A quarrel became a war The war an epic battle Guilt rid me quite often Thinking maybe I did something wrong But after so long that guilt has gone Away into a forgotten memory that was never born Finally there is closure Finally a shining light At the end of this tunnel of light I am coming out with all my might
