did i go astray?

did i go astray?

A Poem by Mk.t.g

they told me I've gone astray
but when have i not?
i may seem all knotted and frayed
but when am i not?

ticking of the clock, seasons changing, 
days getting shorter, nights longer
the air getting salty and melancholic, and how it nipped at my skin
all i ever desired was... winter shouldn't come this time soon

i didn't had it in myself to deal with all this
then why did i had to see the same damn film again?
characters changed, I'm still the main
vaguely remember shutting down sadness
forcing a smile, a mask to hide the storm within
it still creeped in like a cold, barren wind, whispering of lost hopes

all those paragraphs and words should have meant more
they should have come with due actions from you
but I'm left waiting for the bus, which wasn't supposed to come
time had run out, while i was dwelling in a daze at the stop
you never really felt sorry to see me in that state, did you?
i know i should have been more strong
but was it really my fault that i would care?

shouldn't everyone care when spring stayed for two days?
after coming 2 years late...

quite intense. sure sounds like he did. caring deserves no blame but we open ourselves up to hurt when we do. reminds me of a quote by thoreau, "“Not till we are lost, in other words not till we have lost the world, do we begin to find ourselves, and realize where we are and the infinite extent of our relations.”
