In mutual consent you came as love,
And rose from the lesser to the greater nature.
Then you withdrew yourself,
Leaving within gain the taste of loss,
In feeling you taught me how absence feels even in presence.
Worry not,
I shall not endure your given blaze for eternity.
Someday I’ll vanish in the script of fate,
Return I shall not, you won’t find me in any desperate cry,
Then I shall fade afar,
And dwell in that abode where no latch, no door exists.
As much neglect as you’ve shown today,
Remember, you’ll recall me in some lonely hour,
You’ll remember me, at moments, beyond moments.
Absorb the cluster of words I speak today,
You too shall tremble, don’t dismiss this prophecy,
For the weight of unfulfilled sighs is never that light.
Even in an evening of fullness I shall return to the valley of your memory,
Even if as sorrow, I shall return that day,
I shall return to you one silent dusk.
Your heart will burn too, your mind will recall too,
I shall return as your hatred toward yourself.
In that waiting I now depart, bearing your gifted grief.
In your chase for the bird of joy,
You gave me so much humiliation.
I shall return as your regret.
What I once left behind as love,
That love will return one day in another form,
I shall become your existence itself, a resonance of living yet wishing not to live.
You’ll recall how dearly you once cherished me, how deeply you loved me,
Why didn’t I love you then, why did I burn instead?
Life goes on as it does now, why did I lose myself seeking difference?
Only my memory will flash before your eyes in every blink,
That ceaseless pull between my memory and my absence,
No other path will remain, only remorse,
Only I shall become your burning curse, your own torment within.
