Life Goes On... Poem by Sureshni Jayawardana

Tears are all I’m destined to.
You left me so easily
Without even taking a second glance
To see if I was still alive
By the news that shattered the hell out of me.

How could you do this?
Loving me one second and
Acting heartless the next.
You know how I feel about you,
Oh how much I love you…
It’s just too late, realize that.
You’re already in my blood, in my breath
So it doesn’t matter if you leave me this way.

You’ll always be there with me
Wherever I go, wherever I’ll be
That’ll be my strength
The shadow hanging over me
Pushing me forward, each dawning day.
Love doesn’t destroy a person
It’s just a way of giving us strength and courage to move on.
As for us, it’s just the memories I have and will
always have of you and a Certain me.
