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.
