She wondered why he didn't love her no more
It wasn't like this before
5 years of togetherness
And now all of a sudden he didn't notice her no more
What changed?
So she asked him..
...He said he is too busy with his career and work
And so he could no longer give her any more time
To be fair to her...
...she was only asking for a little bit of his attention
But he failed to see it
In fact he refused to even try and understand
For his soul was so blinded by this insatiable ambition to succeed in life..
...to earn fame and fortune
And you see the thing is that the heart cannot feel what the soul cannot see
And he had sold his soul to ambition
But it cost him a lot
He reached the pinnacle of success allright
But when he looked around he realized...
...he was lonely
In his desire to succeed he lost his most precious gift
For she was tired of waiting for him
And had long exited his life
And all he was left with was an emptiness that could never be filled

There's nothing wrong in being ambitious...but don't become so obsessed with your ambition that you lose out on the people who truly and genuinely love you.Success means nothing if you don't have anyone to share it with.
