My mom,
is a gas lighter,
while my dad,
is the cigarette,
two things that are perfect for each other,
yet deadly when combined;

day by day,
the smokes,
**** their own children,
without noticing,
people called it second-hand smoker,
the cancer consumes them,
and finally, rot to die;
untreated.

and your problems,
is not my responsibility,
yet I found myself miserable in fatigue,
when you skips your meals,
while you're laughing at your phone.

this time i’ll let you win,
not for the sake of my pride nor yours,
it’s for the closure,
that i have always wanted.

calling me ****** was her love language,
that would never resonate through my ears again.

You said,
"i dont want to lose you,
i dont wont to be apart from you,
far from you,
i dont want anyone but YOU,
only YOU can make me as happy as i am in the past,now and forever!",
a sad farewell,
but as the time goes by,
i saw you,
smiling gracefully,
what a fool,
i chuckled not believing what i just witnessed,
the only one with this unrequited love,
the one who kept on catching glimpses of us,
the one who stared at our pictures,
the one who laughed and smiled reminding of our memories,
the one who cant move on is,
me.
