Lies Of A Mirage Poem by Vivek Kartha

I know that she loved me once.
I know that she wanted me once.
But she fluttered away from me.
A strange power drove her away.
Perhaps I was hiding too much.
Hiding behind my sorrow.
Hiding behind my fear.
But I was too late.
She sold her heart for someone.
Someone who is not me.

She fell for the lies of a mirage.
A mirage which made promises that sounded so real.
A mirage which promised a false heaven.

She took her new life to be ideal.
She made hopes in her new man.

But I saw her future.
A dark fate awaited her.
A fate so dark that it would be burned off as a lie.
A fate so dark, that even she did not suspect.
A fate so dark, that even her lover did not suspect.

She and her lover played along in a game called life.
Hoping that everyone’s fate was similar.
Hoping that the future was predictable.
Hoping that books and quotes are what prevailed.

I pity her future, for she does not see the heaven she burned out.
But now I just wish.
I just wish that she wouldn’t forget me.
I just wish that she would just smile at me.

My words were empty before.
I did not see the words to express my love.
But now I wish that she would realize,
That I loved her and I will keep on loving her.

I just wish I could have stopped her.
But I was too late;
For she fell into the lies of a mirage
