LIFE GOES ON'.by Khushi
A week now has gone by'.
Once bitten, I am surely twice shy.
Love that once was, now doesn't live here -
But go on I must, I have to persevere,
For dear ones, both mine and his;
I cannot let them fall into this abyss.
Three months more, and then I shall be free,
Till then, keep on I must ' my family and his to oversee.
Harden my heart, I surely must
Else, with pain, my heart will burst.
Our gazes meet, I dare show no emotion
Molten eyes ' how he hurts, needing absolution.
I look through him, turning a blind eye -
Going through the motions, not even able to cry
Never thinking of him - but no, I cannot lie..
He's in my thoughts, forever entrenched, I ask why-
Random cares, about him, in my heart reside.
Stop I must, this worry that I cannot hide.
Work is the best medicine, along with time
Will I get over him.. for my love wasn't a crime'.
An evening came, whilst by the poolside I sat
His voice I heard, after an eon of silence had passed.
His plans he shared ' for, to our family, we must now reveal
That the one who'd endeared himself to all ' was in truth, a heel
Deceiving and cheating, the ones he claimed to love
He had hurt one and all, nothing can save him now.
Stunned I sit, at the pain it will cause
The hurt, would be unbearable without pause
For him, for all'. and mainly for her, his precious Di
For things to be set right, he had been busy.
This surely is the calm before the storm-
I need to think, a plan I must form'
The truth once known, will certainly shatter,
Hearts and relations- I cannot let them scatter.
Trust when freely given, is truly a gift
And can help to heal every single rift.
Di's faith in me ' shows her love and her respect
Though hurt beyond belief, yet me, she wouldn't hate.
He'he protected me, do I dare believe?
Standing up for me, is what I feel, just relief?
What now do I read in those eyes caramel?
As shattered as I - is he in the very same hell?
One false man had woven a web so intricate-
Almost impossible to untangle, even for fate.
The pain, the ruin, the many knots of deceit;
Slowly, unraveling truths, 'tis no mean feat.
The worst now, has been put forever to rest -
Yet I stay away from Di, seeing me, hurt her lest.
In each other, the siblings, their comfort, must find
Ties strengthened, forever will they bind.
Life moves on - once again, a surprise she turned out to be
Her strength, her discerning eye, her courage - his Di
Having sensed my pain and his, she knows now the reason true
For our wedding, hasty and forced; till now none had a clue.
Her need for pardon- for absolution ' is it for her?
Or in a much bigger way, for her little brother?
Oh ' this can't happen, we need to clearly sort things out,
He is distant now, glad I am- but wonder what he's about.
Silences speak ' to me now, they are a close friend
It feels almost like the beginning'. of the end'
Time moving anon' changes being made
I watch'in silence'.how hurt doesn't fade
How can I forget ever'.this unbearable pain'
Yet to go on'.from caring, I must refrain.
Work takes me out early and brings me home late
Yet, until I sleep, to watch for me ' he does wait..
No words I hear, his eyes, his deeds ' they yet speak
Our hearts still beat ' but what is it they seek?
His concern for my family, how he shows his care
A change in him I sense ' is that hesitation, a turmoil there?
No more anger can I see ' is he perhaps, asking me to forgive?
Hope flutters' my heart, it beats, again wanting to live'.
HOPE'. by Arnav
Of control, of fear, of feeling, of having to fall.
In life, when we are down, we learn to stand,
With or without a helping hand.
The truth of the evil, that dirty villain -
I must reveal, regardless of her pain.
I need to do this, to hurt her deep
So that she can break down and weep;
For only then can she rise over this tragedy,
And be strong and wise, forever with her family.
My two precious ones' he hurt them both,
That terrible man ' whom I simply loathe.
The law has put him away forever, never again to return,
Nor more trouble for any, will he ever churn.
Now to tend my two angels, strive I must
Di, I know, will survive- its HER, to whom I've been unjust,
I must help, I must mend every fence broken,
Although my deeds have left no doors open.
I see her distant, I know she wants to leave
Win her back I must, I have a three month reprieve.
Regrets for letting my anger rule.
Regrets for being such an utter fool.
Regrets for ruining a most precious life,
Of none other than my beloved wife.
Regrets for every bitter word and deed,
Regrets for not paying her truths any heed.
Regrets for not making her my priority,
For making her happiness a travesty.
'Tis time now, to change, to be a deserving man
Hoping against hope, to win her back, I'll do all that I can.
I hear only silence, where once there were tinkling words,
I see her eyes, she looks away, like a trapped bird.
A pillar of strength all along for her family,
All alone, by herself, supported them had she.
A light, delicate, tender rose that just cannot bloom
Instead seems sunk always in melancholic gloom.
Her sparkle lost, her eyes blank ' I simply cannot bear
Her tears, her hugs all for Di ' it doesn't seem fair
The truth of our marriage, known to Di now
I must change, I must act fast, to keep Khushi somehow.
Her innocence in sleep and whilst awake,
I truly was a fool to think she was fake.
She can barely stand me, always running away-
Her beautiful face, at the start and end of every day,
I dare not sleep lest, this sight, I should miss.
To feel the beats of our hearts ' she can never then leave
I need her words, her anger and that sweet passion
The pushing, the yelling, every bit of her aggravation.
To feel again, to hurt again and so on to love
She is my hope, my blessing from heaven above.
I need her, in my life, in my dreams, always
And will try hard to make her again believe
Slowly as life goes on, I see myriad changes
In me, my home and in life's blank pages
A space full of pain and anger, of betrayal and distrust,
Now is filled with feelings of love so robust,
Every cruelty vanishes, every pain disappears,
When she looks at me, with some hope and fewer fears.
The silences, the shadows ' do they hurt her as much as me?
My empty heart then fills, slowly with a tendril of hope'maybe'.
MInts, I have MORE...will update tomorrow
