WHY NOT BE STRANGERS?





What broke was heard too loud at a distance of miles
We were tongue-tied, catatonic, defeated with pain beyond cries
Went back and forth a few rounds of accusation and questions
Finally transcending an understanding flouting all reasons
A strange part of ours still flourishes in each other’s spiritual cores
One day we’ll shed our mortal coils healing our hurtful sores       
Till then we part our ways and presume to be strangers
Pretend not to hear those melodies of lost hearts, be content playing vagabond rangers
Let this light blind us so we don’t see a shadow of each other
No hopes, no desires, no expectations would not harm either
When you are met with novel warmth in strangeness
Why not wear those swanky masks and venture into new wilderness
Where we see no trace of each other’s tear-stained visage
Let’s honor what we had by paying an unthinkable homage
Sobbed enough standing helpless at opposite sides of a deadly door
Let’s bottle in our hearts and bury in the deeps what sustained us before
The mist of time will obscure the love, putting off the past flames.
We’ll be each other’s psychic healers as we molt our fleshly frames.
