Why did the same person who said "I'm here" end up being the first one to leave?.One night, I prayed to God with all my heartI prayed that he would protect me and keep me on guardTo keep me safe and sound, free from any harmFrom a man who will come into my life with a cunning charmI wish that God would keep me away from his arm.The day came, and I met youYou tamed me and saved me out of the blueI fell so deeply; I adored you discreetlyI loved you too much; I treasured you secretly.But fate disagreed with us, and you leftI was so devastated; it hurt like hellI don't want you to leave; I wholeheartedly detestI don't want you to go, but you bid me farewell.Now you're gone and vanished into thin airLike a breath, I grasped into my nightmareOf all the empty faces I seek, you're always thereI reached to you, but in the end, I trampled in despair.Then I asked God, why must you do such a thing?Why did you hurt me like that and keep me in the wing?Why did you bring him and let him meet meI reciprocated it, yet you let him leave?.He answered, "I only granted your dearest prayer."I kept my promise to you like I always swearFor you know, I never break any pact once I declareBelieve me, my child, it is your heart I always want to take care.I realized God heard me and really did listenTo me, to us, and indeed when I prayed way back thenAnd for some time, I thought you prayed to him as wellTo be with me forever, but fate and time have different stories to tell.Maybe at once, you decided to finally leave herGod foresees that as a cause of my own dangerYour wish might be on the contrary to his own accordIt's just this time, God is not in your favor..-----------------------------------------------------------From the author:I sometimes think about whether theres a set way to write poems. Mine has got rhyme, but the lines feel way too long. Ive noticed that most poems have shorter lines, you know?Btw, I wrote this poem to at least soothe the pain of unrequited love. For once, I believe that God might have spared me from great heartbreak, which is why He never gave me that man I liked. I always asked him why I kept on loving someone who never liked me back. I feel so insecure.For any grammar corrections and insights, tell me more in the comment section below.Writing Anonymously,BabaengPalaisipan
