Good Things

a poem by Akshit Anand

All good things must come to an end,
Even the gifts that God sends.
Like her, the joker he sent from above,
Who was the only girl I truly loved.

She changed everything and made my life worthwhile,
She was the only one who could make me smile.
She really doesn’t understand how much she means,
I’ll never be as happy as I’ve been.

She was my heart and my soul,
She filled me with joy and made me whole.
She was my world, my greatest treasure,
I loved her so much that it couldn’t be measured.

I remember every kiss and touch,
All our memories, I miss so much.
I wish we could go back in time,
When I was hers and she was mine.

She always made me feel so secure,
No matter what went wrong, she always had a cure.
With her I felt absolutely no fear,
But now I’m scared of anything that comes near.

She healed me and put me back together,
So I held on to her she was my tether.
Sadly, she suddenly cut the rope,
And with it went my happiness and hope.

The spell had finally been broken,
As I realized I had awoken.
My best dream became my worst nightmare.
She vanished while she was right there.

To be happy again, I’ll have to relive the past.
Hold on to every memory for as long as they last,
When I look back at how I used to feel,
I doubt my memories as if you were real.
