Connection

All the myths, fables and stories in this universe
The female leads forever find love
‘What is love?’ I asked
For I have never tasted it before.

They say love makes your heart beats faster
It makes your blood rush through your veins as if there’s no more tomorrow
It makes you sacrifice your life in order to help the one
They say love steals your sight.

So, let me ask you something
Does love make you sleepless for days and nights to come?
Does love create an illusion of the one in front of your eyes?
Does love make your mind occupied with nothing but the one?
Does love make you happy or give you pain?

‘We are mere mortals,’ a wise one told me once
‘We are bound to suffer pain’
‘But when the pain stings so much, it would slowly fade away’
‘Leaving you with nothing but joy and serenity.’

All these questions and words did not make sense to me
Till the day I met the one.

My heart pumped faster
My blood bubbled
My sight stolen.

But I could never reveal this secret
For it replicates that of a forbidden love
We are never meant to be
We could never be.

It is then when I felt the agony and hurt
Of how the two souls are entwined
But it will never last
For the end will never form a link between them
They will never connect as one.
