Two dark eyes reflect back to me Wind blew outside, too fast to see Love has come to an end now that problems are here Do you know why? Do you know, my dear? We are love birds people say to be dreams come true We were supposed to be forever, wasn't that the due? I look at you, searching for an answer you won't give You look at me, reaching for the reason why I want to leave Do you reckon we fight for it? Do you still wish to salvage something unfit? Because I do, I know enough to be relieved So tell me something, darling—anything, I'll believe
The world is a cruel place for love to dwell How fast time flies, how fast it has gone this swell Too long, we've been searching for each other Too soon, how love faded altogether We looked at each other, each waiting to speak But why, why do we find it hard to seek? Love is bliss but life is a monster Understanding is best when there's surrender We did all they tell us to do But somehow we ended up falling from the blue Do you know why? Because I reason I couldn't conceive So tell me something, darling—anything, I'll believe
It's heaven, it's pain, now that we know where it ends It's hell, it's bitter, how sacrifice always bends We are two souls held together by destiny But now it seems like I'm dropped from its legacy Do you remember how we met? How we touched? It was bittersweet not that the time has hatched Do you still believe in me, in us? Do you plan to keep the promises we discussed? You hurt me, I hurt you—it's the cycle We hurt each other, like reaping with a sickle Do you know why? Why do we fight without reprieve? So tell me something, darling—anything, I'll believe
Here we are, at the crossroads with no choices Here I am, facing north, hearing no voices Keep searching, keep asking, let's fight for this But should we? Should we save what mattered the least? If it's us who soiled destiny's plans If it's us who ended things with just one dance Why do we even bother to have it from the start? Do you wish to rip eye to eye, shards of heart? Have you loved me from the beginning? Have you seen what love is worth sharing? Because, my darling, I really do not want to leave So please tell me something—anything, I'll believe

How we are willing to stay blind to certain truths just to keep what we have constant. This poem is written because I was bored when I was observing a class for my field study. I got what I wanted from the class and I'm just waiting for it to end. I got bored. So I wrote the poem on a page off of my field study journal.
Then I forgot about it.
I found it again when I was compiling all my poems in my poem notebook and boy, did it hurt me. It still hurts until now and let me be honest—I don't know where I got the inspiration from. I haven't experienced this before but somehow, it still hurts me. ;-;
How about you? What do you think of this poem? Comment below. :)
