Didn'T Know Me Poem by Karan Tripathi

I lost in me,
What I saw in you
Been through fire; laying my desires
Felt what I could never see.

I remember; me so tender,
Forgetting the world in your arms,
I felt your beats; in my heart
We walked the line; so slender.

I damned; for you
Voices inside my head,
Felt the fire as sun went down
My walls falling in your bed

Now it’s me,
Dragged back to days I feared.
To frozen rains, dwelling dark
The pain I loved is now so stark.
You made me fly; made me lie
Now I’m falling off the cliff.
You touched my soul; made me believe
Now silence consoles; when I cry.

I didn’t know me, not even close
I staked my life on love; letting it all go.
The bliss of poetry; now the truth of prose
All that you left; a brazen beauty
That I can never show.
