Never meant to be

As a tiger is to grass

As the classy are to crass

As the deer is to meat

As the downtrodden are to achieve any feat

You and I, my beloved

Are just not meant to be

A moment’s glance

A fleeting chance

Sparks in the air

The pressure unable to bear

We know it well

That this will end in hell

Because you and I, o glorious one

Were never meant to be

Cupid’s arrow of fate

We try to abate

Though the world is spiteful

For the small riches I am grateful

We are meant to spell doom

As this is bound to end in gloom

As the stars above whisper

“You two will never be!”

That feeling of having struck gold

Your stare so bold

People stating the obvious

Heartbeats so anxious

The soul is bound to break

For the pain is too much to take

We both leave it at that

For we decide, this will never be

Loneliness creeps down my gut

All riches have left me in an emotional rut

Still that night beckons

What could have been, the heart reckons

Poker faced gladness

Internal sadness

Depth of a broken soul

Fate played a cruel role

We shouldn’t have left it at that

Maybe we were meant to be!
