Heart-to-Heart Talk

Peer into the vibrant void
In the corner of your mind
Where you can be alone,
Where you can be yourself.
Does the void reflect you?
Or is it someone that you know?
Blood of your blood.
Flesh of your flesh.
Who’s been searching Hell and Heaven,
Who’s turned every stone
Looking for you.
And finally found you.
Rode into your life
On a flaming lion.
With blazing eyes,
Promising smile,
Open heart,
Eager mind,
Swaying body.
Asking for nothing,
Demanding nothing,
Waiting for nothing,
Just to ride beside you.
Ready to kill in your name,
Willing to fight till the end.
And you promised
And
Lied.
Caught in between,
Afraid of one sin
And committing another.
You spoke of mistake,
Which your heart
Mistook
For the only real thing in your
Life
of
Lies.
You begged her to wait
And wait she did,
Ready to run
On your command,
Wherever you told her to.
You said you knelt before her
Being a pure slave
Ready to die
But willing to live
By her side
Or closer.
For once in your life, you told the truth.
You were willing to sacrifice
Everything which meant something,
Willing to close one page
And start anew.
Telling her so.
Loving her.
Needing her.
And you said it was a mistake.
And you said you’re not good enough.
And you were afraid of the pain you create
Never knowing
That only pain
Brings pleasure.
Never knowing
That she waited and will.
Because someday
Real-you,
Someone only she can see,
May gain control
Of your
So-called
Life.
And she will be there.
Earnest and honest
As always,
Smiling and laughing,
Crying and moaning.
Being herself.
And instead of
"I'm sorry",
Instead of
"Forgive"
You told to
Forget.
Forget your voice
Still echoing in her soul,
Forget your image
Forever staring
From the mirror.
She will never
Forget/-ive you
For she is
A dreamer,
A believer,
A liver,
A lover,
A doer.
Unlike you.
She still laughs
Seeing those roses
She used to miss.
But there are other souls
She is speaking to,
Unbounded and free.
