Destiny And Legacy Poem by deborah mae lacay

been trying to see what's on my mind which flatters
checkin'..no, it's what on the heart that matters
wondering if i could let the latter dominate
and leave everything to the dreaded fate..

how many times do i have to say
destiny's existence is just nothing but a cliche
just for poets and romantic at heart
to elaborate, so to set things apart..

i had been there.. my mind was always dominant
and my heart has always been distant
true happiness was what i was checking
just then i found out something was missing..

then you came along and filled the space
no one has ever dared to invade
i could only wonder if you're there for real..
or only for a moment, only to make one good deal.

yes, i must say you took one good part
now you can leave and make a brand new start
a life that's not gonna be messed by me
never stained by the blood i am going to bleed..

i was hurt, so badly hurt
the insecurity i had been hiding for so long suddenly showed up
i thought i was all the while wrapped in confidence
but then i realized how terribly wrong i was.

she had always been so good at this, at that..
i know i'm nothing compared to the brilliant lass
she has always been perfect; i am flawed all over
whatever may that be, i'll just have to surrender.

there's nothing i could do now
but wait for the time to come somehow
that you'll finally feel
i could only love you for real..

destiny will again be showing from a hideous place
from there, it could mean defeat or victory to me-
but at least i was able to leave this legacy
a heart so bruised, but willing to suffer for her one true love..
