Love stories are not meant to be lived
you know that from the deleted faces
and vanished traces
of the ones once most valuable to you.
I don't get you I said
don't I feel a regret
for the women i loved
but was never able to live with
don't they still haunt me?
Regret is not the word
the man was adamant,
it's more a mourning for your failure
a tormenting reminder of an undefined deficiency
that you were not up to them
or in the wrath of missing the target
they were not up to you
and then he fired the killing shot
what you remember is not the love
years have wiped out the details
leaving you with the embers of unaccomplished missions
which in the first place
you didn't deserve to be a part of.
I hated his departing words.
True love lives in the stories
and love stories are not meant to be lived.
