I
reason with your shadow
“It’s
been so many years.. why do you still linger?”
it
sits on the edge of my bed
its
back turned to me
while
a weak candle flickers
on
the bedside table
“The
door is open, let go, so I can let go too”
it
says nothing, knowing, as I also knew
that
some souls have planned
their
meeting long before this life time
and
just when life had nothing else to offer
just
when they had nothing more to lose
tormented
by despair
they
sought each other out, in a brutal and violent collision they
destroyed
one another imagining that love was nothing but pain
spending
forever trying but failing to heal.
