(Poem) FOOTSTEPS

I want to believe what you said wasn’t true,

But the guilty look in your eyes said it’s for real.

Were all those times a lie

When you said you’d never make me cry?

I am a fool

To have given my everything to you.

You left nothing behind but misery for me,

When you uttered a simple apology.

The pain you placed on me,

Inside my soul, I caged the agony,

All for the cause that I’ve loved you deeply,

And for the reason I thought we were meant to be.

Walking in the deserted midnight street,

I decided to let those emotions flee,

But the precious feelings for you wouldn’t go

Nor would my hatred for you flow.

I know time will wash away my scars,

Is that too much for one to ask?

I can only rely on time to take them away

Even that is not, for me, fair.

Remember the suffering you’ve given me,

One day, you too will feel it.

Remember my words clearly,

Love justifies those who are worthy of it.

I’m sorry but this is all I can do for you,

There’s really nothing more I can give.

Because I cannot love you,

There is only the day that I hate you.

Whatever you have done to me,

I can never forgive you eternally.

This is how it will end,

That my life will have nothing to do with you.

Turning our backs at the fork of the street,

I hear only our footsteps.
