She might love me..
More than you ever did.
And shelter my tattered soul
And feed it hope.
But..
Her eyes won’t glint
With the slightest of mischief,
To make me want to live more,
To breathe more.
Her laughter won’t resonate with me,
Like yours did.
Her fleeting glance
Won’t make me feel
The way my heart yearns to.
She won’t be imperfect
In the beautiful way you are.
Because..
She’s not you.
She can never be.
And,
When I say
I love her,
She will look into my eyes
And feel the void in my words.
And, she will know..
That the whole of my heart
Can never be hers.
Because
Beyond the closed doors are
The scribbles and graffiti
You left behind.
The remnants of a past
That you will remember
not for long.
So, go on..
Live your life
To the fullest,
As you’ve always done.
Meanwhile,
Let me pull up a chair
And grab a book.
The life is yours,
The graffiti, mine.
This was truly a powerful overflow. The best yet. Brilliant da. 🙂

And with that last line,
I have finished my graffiti
In her heart..
And now she could
Neither open up the graffiti
Just like me,
Nor let life hold her
In the infinite swirl
Of locking up the graffiti..
Hence she broke open
My closed doors
By sheer persistence
And the faith in her heart and art..
When she broke in,
She tidied the mess of break up,
And started her art,
Which wrapped around
The whole graffiti..
Now my heart is open
For what lingers inside is
The brilliance of art of two hearts!
