Reality Blurred……….. !!!

When I see you so happy and excited;
I see all my trivial desires vanished;
and there is nothing else to be achieved.

When I see you so sad and exhausted;
my heart goes out to the poor God
whose creation has so utterly failed.

When I see you so confused and undecided;
I believe that is the way the cosmos has evolved
and uncertainty is the only truth to be realised.

When I see me, that you have not noticed;
I sulk,hate and feel so disgusted
then,  just at a glance of yours I am more than obliged.

It’s only when you are not around;
I have nothing to relate and I am nowhere to be found;
I pity myself and the drink I bought that serves you instead.

Still at times foolishly I love to feel amused;
I ask myself,”do I still ache for you or have I moved on?”;
I answer not, but I see the smile, the most beautiful, I have ever flashed.

To stay firm or move on is all a matter of the mind.
It’s all up to you…
Good write…

Liked it.
Stanzas 4 & 6 stand out for me.
I’m not clear on this one line -
” I pity myself and the drink I bought that serves you instead. ”
Gion
