"The Unwanted
Choice"
Walked
alone down a dry road
It
was colourless, all lifeless, dead
And
well-worn.
A
butterfly flew near me, it whirled,
Caressed
me, showed all its vibrancies
As
it capered.
Initially
I ignored, shooed it away.
"No
place for you."
I
said in a harsh way.
It
still buzzed around, touched my ears,
Kissed
my eyes; then it said,
"I
know I'm not your choice."
The
words melted my heart.
Instantly
I realised,
"I
always wanted this rainbow in my life."
I
ran after the butterfly, but it flew away.
I
tried to chase; worthless!
All
it said before it left,
"We
can't be together
As
I am an unwanted choice."
Now
it's gone, I'm all alone.
"Yeah,
you were not my choice,
Though
I think better now
That
I always waited
For
this unwanted choice
In
my dreary life"
I
cried towards the red sky
Yet
I watched the sunset forlorn.
