A/N: Hopeless attempt in poetry writing... Hope you like it!
It is like finding the unity
between light and dark
general and particular
trouble and soberness
I question the thousandth time
the photograph of a stranger in a wedding dress
how things placed at both ends of the spectrum
cannot ever fit together
Every passing minute
I seem to find it more and more amusing
how life could make such illusions
letting you fall flat and get you
trapped to them
I still cannot seem to figure out
which part was worse
the fall or the ceaseless torment…
Knowing my loved has slipped away
discreetly but eagerly
from the fingers he used
to beg to hold back then
or the fact I have to live
with this pain every single day
The bitter chill of the weather
still moves through me like a plague
My flimsy body shivers
At the sudden breeze that entered
When you finally opened the front door
I stare at you from the living room
trying so hard to make
your actions inaudible
carefully closing the door
hopeful you do not wake me up
Blinded by the darkness of the room
I could still surely make out
the lipstick stains on your white shirt
I ever patiently wash and press
I could have strangled you
right here right now
but my hands are made unavailable
by my old photograph where I proudly
radiate a smile of a young bride
nothing but ready to get into
a lifetime of happiness.
