Apart but Still a Part

Pooja Iyer posted under PenMuse-15 Poetry on 2020-01-23



You were a trophy invaluable Who brought joy unfathomable Your discovery was a happenstance  My realization of you, the essence of my existence Memories we made in collaboration A lifetime in contemplation I left you in search of pastures greener Turning by the day meaner To your glory I became oblivious Overpowered by desires delirious  My longing for you entail efforts vain The quest brings immense pain You let me go, I let go of you None of us got our due Estranged but still a part Even time cannot do us apart As you live in my memory strong You were my own version carefree not ago too long As the new you I am your reflection Separated from you by the veil of identification ____ ____ Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
