Indelible Poem by Cheryl L. DaytecYañgot

She left him with a shattered heart
Her tortured tears held their own art
He never figured what they meant
Her sentiments she did not vent

She walked away without a word
His heart-it was pierced with ten swords
The years went by but he waited
To know why their love was ill-fated

By accident they met again
One summer that was graced with rain
All the hurts that plagued the long years
Suddenly vanished with his tears

Never doubt that she loved him so
She set him free, she had to go
The painful choice she had to make
She regretted but had to take

His feet were planted in this place
While her wings aimed for overseas
He longed to chase justice and peace
She wanted a life with more ease

When she came back to set things right
He was married. Gone was her light
She knew by then she lost the fight
Her world could not again be bright

Now that they live in different worlds
Some of their memories are blurred
But there can’t be a cloud above
The memories of their first love.
