Discernment

I wanted to uncover your intentions,

And, sense your vulnerabilities under your skin,

I wanted to read your unconscious and your sublimity,

I wanted to see how authentic you are!

But, you failed me!

I wanted to feel comfort, but,

You gave me disturbing discomfort and distrust,

I wanted to measure your depth of the psyche,

And, I saw there’s none!

Just a kid in an adult physique,

Who doesn’t know how to do chores!

I wanted to see what you have learnt from life and the previous relationships,

I saw you have never been in touch with love and the fine arts of it!

I saw an immature person in disguise of a vast vessel,

I found you not truthful and could sense ulterior motives- dishonesty!

I wanted to dive deep into your soul,

But, I see that’s empty.

I wanted to heal you,

But, I see you are proud unhealed.

I wanted to see the scars in the stars,

But, I see looming darkness surrounds you

And, there’s nothing lightening!

I wanted to touch your soul, hear It’s voice,

I felt It’s empty and full of pride.

So, I say you good bye.

A bye for longings and belongingness,

A concrete contract without any soul ties will be signed.

Well, clarity is the only currency I accept.

Time Frame: 8.32 pm, Mirpur Cantonment.
