Reflection
Reflection…
I trade down memory lane,
I think of the moments we had and some I imagined with my brain.
I remember vividly of how we use to walk in the rain,
Her fingers perfectly webbed to mine as if there never would come a time they had to separate.
I can still smell the scent of the summer earth as raindrops fall to quench its thirst.
We cared not of the virus flue, for what more did we desire but two lives lived as one.
I mean what crept up and down my spine was more deadly than a virus.
I felt it existed between us both, or was I under some sort of illusion.
You stared into my eyes and I gave you beyond my heart.
I gave you my bones such that even in death I still would love you,
For my heart is a simple organ that with my last breath, it begins to decay,
For us I wanted something that lasted forever,
Like every cell of the calcium, that forms my bones.

“In you all I saw was a friend,
Someone who cared out of curtsy, I thought you were being a gentleman.
Is it not in your nature to defend the weak and ill equipped?
Cause to me that seemed like the most logical reason why you would fight for me when I am weak.
The rains soaked mother earth and you held my hand…
No one had ever done that for me, no one had ever feared I would slip and fall.
I shivered and you gave me your jacket and I thought you were just looking out for me.”
Sharper than a two edged sword they sound,
They pierce through my every ligament living me paralysed.
The so enjoyed ride of emotions seem to have been a race down a cliff.
I reflect on what I thought was, meditate on what she says it was,
All I get out of it is a broken torso and scrambled skull…
