Just by an accidental thought.

Serendipity

What happened that night is a vivid memory,

Hazy, but permanently stuck in the heart.

I was dressed in red, he wore a black cape,

This was destined right from the start.
It was the after affect of a tragic shock,
The hearts felt active, the minds were locked.
His last night in our city,
or should I call it serendipity.

He took my hand and swept me away,

He was to leave to very next day.

To me t'was wrong, but to us t'was right,

when for the time of then, world went out of site.

Just the shudder and memories of that night,

a dark tunnel, and then came light.
Took every fear, oh that shameless hour,
But the last goodbye couldn't have been from afar.
We wept together, each to their fate,
Life had bought us both to a sorry state.
Love that dropped from puffy eyes,
A short night before a big sacrifice.

He rolled around me like a venomous snake,

He bit me dead, for my own sake.

He coiled around me, I was still awake.

I knew we'd made a beautiful mistake.

He picked his bag, not a tear in his eyes,

but I knew he too was broken inside.

He went away to fulfill his promise,

And I stood silent, awaiting a final kiss.

He mustered the strength, but mine broke,

He pecked my head and boarded the coach. 

Never to return, never to meet,

As my eyes followed his feet.

The wheels turned, breaking my broken heart,

And our story played from the start. 

In a white land there existed a brown lad,

and till today, he's all I ever had.
