You Lost Me Poem by Alison Mujati

I'm a piece cut from a different cloth
Men as butterflies, not me, a moth

Beauty on multi-hued wings hoaxed everyone.
Dark self and nocturnal time brand me.

When beauty fades, I remain the same
Maybe it's a time my nerve surfaces


Teenage gleam was never my place
Unattractiveness made me beautiful

When money possessed everyone, I remained steadfast
I waited for my gest.

Had you followed my empathy, you would have seen a bigger picture.
No looking back it's a destiny game.

Make choices and everything follows your self-containment.
By choosing someone over me, you wrote your judgment.

It broke my heart you never saw a bigger picture.
All that glitters is not gold but rough diamonds often possess hidden future excess value.

Now finding the lost ground
The answer prickling by the eastern horizon
Now, look at my flowers glowing while your sad choices yield to nothingness.

You don't choose love
Love chooses you
While you chose to contradict gravity,
You became vulnerable to karma
Now its silent returns, reaping what you sow.

Am I rubbing salt
No, just mentioning the obvious.

I am not elite
But am I a bandit?

I feel for you
I wish like grabbing your arms and comfort you
But just like you, I also made a choice
And with it, fate judged me, no looking back.

Our only difference, I permitted love to choose me
