A POINT OF NO RETURN

When I looked into your eyes,

I could see the pain.

And I could tell

That I was the cause of it.

But I know myself too well.

I could not apologise.

I could not sacrifice that

Inflated ego of mine.

I knew that the fault was mine.

But I was too proud

Or maybe too scared

To admit that I could be wrong.

I let you leave without a word.

I tried and I tried

But the words did not come.

I saw the last turn that you took.

Slowly you faded away

Into the distance-

Far, far away…

Too far for me to get you back.

The distance was created long back.

But this feeling was so new.

Maybe I could still make amends.

But I stood numb as you left.
