Leaving Behind

I recalled the day I bumped into you. Should I say Physically bumping?
There was this cranky wall I observed; how come you haven't noticed it?
It stood between us; I touched it but it never bulged
My life was filled with joy before you came; I had control over my sentiments
I hid behind closed doors of pain
And shined bright as an Angel of Light.

I knew nothing apart from you were a brainiac, who rapports with gurus anyway?
Months passed as you became a passing dust
My hearing was oblivious to your surroundings
I felt nothing but peace. Why did you come back?

It came through with a burning arrow
I sat and asked myself, "Why me?"
I do not deserve all this
My name is pain and suffering

You were cheesy and charming
Claiming you were never an option
In life, two things are involved;
Betrayal and Living Behind.

Thinking twice, I felt it much better to leave behind
Emotions kill me and I leave writhing in pains
It has been my best friend but became my foe at an instant
I longed to search for peace.

I couldn't confide in you as I saw myself unworthy of you
I created the wall and I must live with it
It has been my saving grace from the world
It is going to guide me to my end.

But you objected and forced an impediment
One I couldn't condom; I decided to flee
You will search and sought for me
You will never find me for I am long gone
You will appreciate it one day that I left behind.
