HOW I MADE MY EX RESPOND

… She has been mute for twelve years. I had gone past her but stubborn about the reason for her leaving. So I wrote her this free verse.

Voila, I got a response!

Here’s what I wrote…

Don’t see this as being rude. I just want to be cool. You may call me a fool for playing by the rules but with a heart full of joy I prepare this piece for you.

All I saw was abstract. Innate qualities from the outside. Being calm, cool and responsible was my way so I couldn’t bring forth what I’m not up to. All I did to win your heart at that glimpse was all I could. That jiffy was nothing close to easy as many thought.

Being gentle, subtle and ambitious was my way and I couldn’t fake or bake cake for whom unfit. You were not the perfect woman for me, I knew well before coming to you. Making you the imperfect perfect was what I craved, and that will till my grave.

Just one act that changed my heart to ice was what I appreciated and held unto, and will continue holding until I see no more. That deed that dims you fit to be my wife was what I believed could lit my life.

They said I’m lucky to get your heart-key, but you suddenly changed the lock. Many talked, several mocked but all did not give me a mind block. I thought both of us could stand in front of the mirror and make our total appearance together.

May be we would live together four- ever. Every memory drew hope away.

Where was your patience, so you showed those ones in pretense.

Where was your tolerance? I was wrong I thought you had.

What exactly did you want? Is it the family, affluence, name or fame?

You threw me in the abyss of shame. What’s your gain for framing me?

But why did you act like that

Your words were unadulterated cruel

Weighty and you left, made me agree with no reason

When will you let out the reason?

Friends charged me with treason

They thought I could have done the same

I had learnt my lesson

Your leaving was a blessing

I thought you were the best I could get

Unknown to me that better than the best I will soon meet

She responded.

“… I was confused, no reasons. I’m sorry.”
