Enduring Devotion: all gone

Was it fun to toss me around?

From time to time, till you saw fit

I could have sworn I resented you 

But the past would always prevail

How could I, How could I, discard all that we shared?

How could I disregard your eminence in my life?

You were the binds to my life

You were the thread weaving my smile

Why did it have to end in misery?

My futile heart doesn't want to be your fugitive

I can't seem to break free from those shackles 

Ones which I once considered your love for me

Do you detest me to the point you want me not there?

Did your love, in a trice, disseminate far away?

Weren't we, dare I say, the epitome of illustrious love?

I learned to not lean towards anyone, thanks to you

Your conscience, consigned to oblivion, made me the toughest soldier out there

Your vacant eyes, once filled with wavering warmth, made me lose faith in all

Was it for the best, this separation?

Was it all for nothing, this dissolution?

Will it all go down in drain, and vanish in vain?

Somewhere out there, I sincerely hope it won't rise into nostalgia

Author's Note

I won't say something inspired me to write this, but, there's a recent kdrama I watched. It's called the 'Hymn/Praise of Death' of 2018. Although this drama depicts a tragic love story and political issues, I just thought of an alternate ending, something that sounds ancient and literature-like.

"I learned to not lean towards anyone, thanks to you." Ah, the bitter sting of emotional backlash wrapped in pointed sarcasm. This was cool to read. It had a Bob Dylan's, Positively Fourth Street, sort of vibe. I enjoyed the read, F.

Hello Ml.t.g. Apologies for not seeing your read request sooner as I haven't been very active these days. This poem feels depressingly relatable, especially since I've had relationship issues of my own before. I particularly like how you worded the first stanza. Good work ^__^

This goes to show that the ones we love the most also hurt us the most as well. You start to think of everything and play it in your mind. How they took you for granted, feeling unworthy and so on. Great piece. I can't wait ti see what you create in the future.

Some lives start out sizzling and magical and end in misery. People grow and torn apart for a multitude of reasons leaving one person broken and one person walking away because they no longer want what once was
