A Faithful Path

 The soul never stops weeping. We want that special someone like a book we can’t stop reading. Till that day you die, a salvaged soul cries asking for forgiveness. What did you do wrong you fool? I knew you'd be forever being alone. That's why I’m here to cheer you up. I know the women's heart like no other. She leads you on, when she thinks she's not. She plays stupid, when you want to rot. She is the devil, isn't she? Alas, she was just trying to be your friend. I know this can be tough and emasculating, but she was in this too. She thought you loved and would make your move, but she was just too confusing wasn't she, you morning bloom? Look man, if I’ve got one word to say, it would be stay away. You loved too much, that’s why you look sad. The pressure is immense and so is the blame. Cheer up because we're headed down a long road, never meant to go the right way. It is the road of forgiveness or maybe just security. You feel like a fool and well your insecure. She was never the one to blame and nor were you. You both were stupid and one should have played the game. You should have told her you loved her, before you were too late. You should have let her know, before she tore your soul. She really never meant to do it. She just never knew and now, well you're here staring at the full moon. You’re so sad that she's with another man. Did that come to you as a surprise? She was never meant to last forever. She was never meant to be your moon. She only wanted some pleasure with another man. He is a man who could comfort her. A man who was actually be a man. He is a man who never sought pleasure except from one. Who never spent cold, gloomy nights only with her? Who would watch girly movies and take her out to the beach for strolls. I thought I was that man, but now look at me now. I am the man who was denied everything. He is a man who reeks of denial. I can't accept the fact that she threw me out in my shadow. They say a shadow reflects your soul. Depression and anguish is now full and I’m cold. She can laugh and play with that other man, while I sit here and regret that I planned. Planned to love her more than anything. Planned to cuddle in the evenings. Planned to do practically everything, but now that man is luckily married to the only blessing I ever witnessed. Ten years went by so quickly. How could she be so happy? How could she live her life and forget all about me? I loved her. I cared for her. I knew she existed. How could she care less about mine? We were friends. We talked, but in the end, everything plummeted and fell. Never regret my friends because you'll all die. Thinking that the one thing that went wrong was only supposed to go right. You dwell on such meaningful things, but are these things supposed to be dwelled on eternally? Step away from your road. Diverge with me and you'll see. That life is much more liberating without her, don’t you think? Without winters morning gloom, or summers evening spoon. We can fly away to Italy or France and find true romance. I'll be waiting for your call because I’m only hearing to play along. To see you sparkle, not dwell. On this diverged road, you might reminisce on your past. On this diverged road though, you will never sit down and play sad. You will move on to other girls. You will sit down and create bigger things. You will be the man who stepped forward. Who played his game correctly? You will be a man who remembered this girl on a starry night, but said I'm going to improve my wicked life.
