ACHES [Wattys Winner 2015]

My Hope 9

She runs to me and says,

"Living with my aunt, are just few passing days,

Cause Nik has asked me to move in with him.

I am so happy,

Finally, everything is working for me.

My love loves me too

What else would one want ? "

I stared at her smile,

I gauged the intensity in it.

Certainly, My hope was happy without me,

She was happy with Nik.

Who am I to stop her?

From feeling the way she should have always felt.

She deserves all the universe,

What are moons and stars.

I smiled at her joy,

I felt a piece of my soul cutting through my flesh,

Escaping from me.

I felt a part of me shaking,

Dying inside.

But It is all right.

My hope is happy with Nik,

Her love loves her too,

That is what matters much.
