Last Letter To My Lover

I’ve tried to swim, but my feelings for you never drowned

Walked through fire, but it never got charred

I’ve closed my eyes and wished you away but when I open them, they still stared

‘Why are you still here?’

My hands were free, but it weren’t clung to them

My heart raced to find it, but it was never on track

I had let it go. but still held it close

Why would I shatter what gave me so much joy?

How do you love and hate something consecutively?

It had caused me so much pain

so much so that my heart cringed every time it came around

It came around every time

Blood and tears

These are not the features of joy

I had smiled and cried at the same time

Genuine happiness, grave melancholy

Years of lessons, I finally learnt to let go

I pray for you, joy, at the very most

That you find God and hold Him close

You were a great friend

But my feelings for you have come to an end.
