struggles

at least
we have the full cycle complete
where weaving through
in between
defines all the struggles
that bounded our journey
the ups and downs
the sun's heat
and the mist's damps

we knew exactly where
it separated
when summer ended
and winter began
right here within our hearts
in our spirits and in our minds
we cuddled and shared our pains
our joys and sufferings

we both flipped
the same pages of our times
unwritten in the blank sheets
of our book aching to be filled
with all our hopes
desires and ambitions
but as you gazed at the window
I just knew, our fate was sealed
when the falling rain drowned
all my relenting angers
and I was silenced
not from the wind
but by your indifference

I tried to reach you
deep down
pulled you out many a times
but once buried, and sealed
can't be saved or redeemed-
you resigned, I just sensed
the end just began

tried to beat
the living hell
out of you
just to quell the evils
and the dark spells
but none I could do
to brake that hell
you are doomed
and wanted it so
because in this world
and this life you said:
wasn't meant for you
nor will it ever be....

I walked away
because I knew,
you were a living dead
and so was I.

Mc thank you so much for your comments and read. Yes, sometimes we find ourselves stuck in a rot and can't find the way to be out.

I have and it took a lot of courage to step out but life is how it is.

I am so happy I am now in a place where all of these are but buried in the past.

Thanks again Mc. How are you?

Hope things are better for you,
when life gets me down,
I just say "beetlejuice"
