HINDSIGHT & APOLOGIES

What does matter,

when one could be standing

in the most beautiful places on earth

but still stare blankly?

Or being in middle of the loudest crowd

but still hear silence?

What does matter,

when nowhere feels right

cause anywhere feels wrong?

Where does one go,

when home doesn't even

feel like home?

Whom to blame,

when the face looking back in the mirror

cursing me in silence?


Dear beloved,

Forgive me

for not being brave enough

to show up on your doorstep

while time's still a friend.

Forgive me

for my indecisiveness,

for giving up the hours,

days and months to my fears.

Forgive me

I never learned my lessons

thus time has turned its back

and sentenced me with guilt.


Dear beloved,

This is my hindsight and apology.

And if I'm meant to be forfeited in this lifetime,

hereby with all the shards

of faith I still had left,

with every prayer

and every breath

I am still allowed

to take,

I will forever reside and wait

at the doorstep

of your heart.


-a.n.l.
