Irreversible

Hola everyone!!

It was only yesterday that I was thinking how long it has been since I wrote something (as in a poem or a story) and I realised it has been more than a year since I wrote the last one. Flipping through one of my old books, I found a yellowish looking page from one of my notebooks where I had scribbled down a poem (if I may call it so). How I love finding such scribbles!! This was written around 2 years back during my initial poem writing days. This might as well be the very first thing I wrote, methinks. wanted to share it with you. Didn't edit a thing.

IRREVERSIBLE

Standing in front of the mirror,

I look into the blurred image

Through my moist eyes.

Right in front of me,

Is a stranger I know not

Staring right back at me.

Wipe off those tears

In a desperate attempt

And I look again

To find myself

Unlike me anymore.

I marvel how

Loving you and not

Being loved back anymore

Has changed me inside.

The metamorphosis of my self

Has surprised me like no other.

Dear friend, I wish you well.

I say the last goodbye

As I take the other way.

I suppose you can clearly see the influence of Adele's Someone Like You ; I was addicted to it back then. Would love to know what you think of it.
