Mixed Messages Poem by Farina Afrin Malik

As the days grow shorter
The time it took for you to distance yourself from me decreased
Our friendship that burned like a thousand suns was torn apart by a simple subtle truth
Love...
I loved you but you never loved me and never will
Alone I stand on the highest peak of the mountain
Gasping for air
The hand that once held me so tightly
let go of me in the darkness
My only question is: Why?
And yet I wonder was it all in my head?
Because when I look back there's no hand
Its as if it never was there to begin with
A dream world I blew up like a bubble
but when the truth was revealed it popped
You were no more in my heart
Just a whisper in the dark night
A whisper only I could hear every night
Now and for all eternity
