With you, I never earned,
The power, to intervene.
I feel invisible, most times,
It’s how, it’s always been .
You never gave me,
What I gave, without thought.
An ear for the stories,
Of the worldly wars, I fought.
This distance on the map,
Added to what, you outgrew,
This cup infused with my love,
Wasn’t the strongest brew.
I felt powerless, most times,
You were out of my reach.
There I sat alone, sighing,
Staring at stars, on a beach .
Did you look at the sky?
Feel the strings pull and tug?
Even if you felt it, ever so slightly,
A wormhole to you, I would’ve dug.
You decided for the two of us,
And cloaked me invisible.
You never gave me any power,
Over your life, to cause any trouble.
I wished, the promises you made
Didn’t come with an expiry.
Even in death, I will keep mine,
This love remains, my burden to bury.
I was so easy to put away,
I never caused any drama,
Treated me like an acquaintance,
Washed me off your karma.
You stopped acknowledging me,
Moved on with your vice,
Who was I to intervene now,
And give you any advice .
You made me into a stranger,
I knew you, from many lives before,
I live this life without you now,
This hurt will last for many more.
Thought it should rhyme :)
