Among the ruins
May 24, 2008Gone, Free
Did I fail you once again
I wish I knew what happened;
Thought we were doing just fine
I guess I mis-read your mind.
Did I fail myself again
Things feel the way they did then;
Thought this time will be better
But love’s still my cruel teacher.
This affair’s over again
Shouldn’t hurt like it did then;
You’re gone and I’m free again
Shouldn’t cry like I did then.
When you left, I almost died,
But I’m all cried out this time;
Still I hold you in my arms
In my dreams, I have your heart.
You were my one addiction
My penance, my affliction,
Now you’re gone and I’m free
So why am I unhappy?
In time I will heal my soul
Learn from love, regain control
I hope to finally see
That we are not meant to be.

i like this poem. so poignant.
the art of loving and unloving. so hard to perfect - just like life itself (whew — super corny na ang dating ko).
this can be said too to a friendship that blossomed and withered.
cheers mike.
