Faint Farewell Poem by Suraj Samtani

Without speaking,
You bid me adieu,
Whatever was pending,
With you it flew.

We both know,
That for each other we wish well.
Although we couldn't show,
Our hearts telepathized what we couldn't tell.

Together we made mistakes throughout the darkness of the night, &
To void that vacuum we painfully became each other's torrid enemy.
There was once a time when every wrong felt so right,
Until we were inevitably conned by that which once was so heavenly.

What was meant to be pleasurable,
Found its association with pain.
From lovable to horrible,
The memories eternally etched their stain.

Your mere sight raised my inner children, &
Rushed their emotions beyond precedented scales.
Interacting with you became a burden,
As I battled between our past and present tales.

Along with your eventual eternal passing,
Every iota of angst against you too melted.
I have completed my forgiving, accepting, and appreciating, &
Pray that by the past you too never get pelted.
