Accidental Poet

The story of us,
It depicts not the present,
Nor the future,
But simply the past.

We were never meant to be,
That I was too blinded to see.
Because I see you as perfection,
And one day the subject of my affections.

Ignored are all the warnings about you,
In misadventure, you I 've decided to pursue,
The one I 'm most willing to give my heart to,
A mistake I wished I knew.

You, yes you.
You live in fear of the words of others,
But never once have you considered,
The repercussions of your own.

You, yes you.
Thank you for this hurt,
For the mindless comparisons,
For the thoughtless words,
And for telling me what I should be.

Because when you let me go,

How many more two years am I left ahead,
Before the right one 's path and mine can finally embed?

I 'm losing faith,
In 'good-things-come-to-those-who-wait '.
For if such saying is true,
In this journey of sorrow I need not partake.

I 'm done with good.
I 'm done with pleasantries.
For a genuine heart like mine,
It doesn 't belong in 21st Century. Dead End

You 're the reason I took steps backwards,
Indulging in moments that have passed,
Reliving fond memories of us,
The ones I 'm incapable to classify as the past.

You 're the reason I took a right turn,
Even when I could do otherwise,
A choice to have a chance at happiness,
That only led to our tragic demise.

You 're the reason I took a left turn,
In the verge of losing the fight,
The one where I could win and stay in your heart,
Or at risk of having to part.

You 're the reason I 'm moving forward,
Leaving the past behind,
Only to have you back again,
Allowing the vicious cycle to begin.

In all the paths I 've taken,
They led me to you.
Maybe you 're my dead end,
For I loved you then,
And I still do.

This is but a remedy,
To be taken seriously,
For the heart to heal properly,
And sorrows to go
