Passionate Poems of the Poet

Harlequin

Waves of anger gripped me as he walked further into the distance.

He had promised to be with me

And I was the stupid one to believe.

My feelings were mixed up, working
around my stomach.

Tears slowly filled my eyes as I stood
there in a motionless state with
clenched fists at my sides

It was the worst moment I ever had in
my entire life and it was all his fault.

A moment ago, he told me we can no
longer be together and the three years
we spent loving one another was just a
waste of time.

The only thing I could ask him was why?

Why did he have to do this to me and
at this time of my life,
where I was just starting to believe I
found the right person?

He hugged me. But I didn't hug him
back, and the pain in my heart started
as he withdrew his arms and began
walking.

I slowly wiped the tears away with the
back of my hand.

I stood there motionless.

So numb I became that my body felt as
if it was paralyzed from a tragic
car accident.

My feet finally turned to walk in the
opposite direction away from the pain I
witness.

It was like I was in another world with
everything parted away from reality.

Questions willingly played my mind,
questions I knew he wouldn't answer
even if I had begged him.

My heart felt like an arrow has just
paved its way in from a powerful
shoot.

And then, the victory of harlequin
shines its way to celebrate my tragedy.

I didn't know how I'll be able to start a
new life, bit I just kept on walking.

With my head buried in the
ground and my eyes burning with salt
water.

My feelings were so mixed up.... Like
the colours of harlequin.
