Did I try enough? <br />Did I even bother? <br />I ask myself. <br />After all I put myself through, to change the inevitable, <br />I realized in the end, the inevitable is indeed the inevitable. <br />I reached for your hand as you plunged into a world of chaos <br />and uncertainty, <br />And you are now lost within its winding mess. <br />I stared at you as you fell, <br />And the thought of me failing you crept in, <br />and in. <br />Until my body could take no more. <br />I had hoped with all my heart, that you would not change, <br />I thought, 'No it cannot', but it did. <br />You shifted, you changed, and it slapped me square in the face. <br />We are now too different, too far away to ever understand one another. <br />Had I really tried so hard? <br /> <br />I suppose so. <br /> <br />I look at it now, and I do not know what to expect. <br />That negative aura around you grows at constant rate that even I <br />cannot comprehend. <br />And you expect me to smile and wave to you, <br />As if nothing happened? <br />Of course I won't, of course, I can't. <br />With all my heart I wish it had not happened, <br />But it was the inevitable. <br />I’ve accepted it, slowly but surely. <br />But I wonder, what now? <br />What of you, <br />what of us? <br />What is the next shift, <br />the next change? <br /> <br />Or Is there even another for you?<br /><br />Yazzy Nixon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-inevitable-is-the-inevitable/
