In The End There Is Only Silence Poem by Agatha Eliza

In The End There Is Only Silence



We are roaming the vast universe
like two nomads
restlessly searching for hidden meanings
behind each other's gestures and smiles
while we keep the unsaid words
only to ourselves
like holy relics
out of fear,
we cling on so hard to them
afraid to let them out
but when we touch each other's skin
we find new landmarks
points that guide us to a secret place
outside time and space
in the split halves of a universe
we created together.


When our paths cross even by accident
we look in each other's eyes
reflecting on all the "possibilities"
and "impossibilities",
the endless succession of "what if",
or "should I? "
or maybe "should I not? "
"is it the time? "
"it's too tough..I wonder would
they all laugh at me
for...trying? "
But in the end we remain silent.


Perhaps all along, we've done nothing
else but searching for one another
(but clearly most of the time,
avoiding each other) -
but we both feel that we are
inextricably linked
and that your light guides me
through the darkness of my sorrows
and I love you whole-heartedly
eternally...irreversibly
loving you even for what others
strongly resent about you.
But such is life,
stripped of all illusions
and fancy idealism
we only love
two kinds of people
the ones we can't have
and the ones who broke our hearts.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
We only love two kinds of people; the people we can't have because we never get to know them for who they truly are, and the ones who broke our hearts, just because we got to know them far too well. And yet, what is between that is only imagination.
