Forsaken fool

As I was trailing

down the life’s lane

I caught up

with

this lass

also making the journey

and we trailed along

together

The journey

turned interesting

my heart sang

unusually

my steps much lighter

this time

I was afloat

and I realized it was

her company

that was making

my walking

easy

I thanked my stars

for the company

and wished

she was just as happy

making the journey

with me

and as I trailed along
further

down my life’s

unwinding journey

in her company

I asked her

for her friendship as well

and…

Did I ask for anything more?

Did she mean it anything less?

Ah, some questions need no answers

We have parted our ways

and I am carrying on

all alone
a forsaken fool
