THIS INEVITABLE END

[LION HEART]

I wrote this three days ago and finished refining it.  Here's a share for you all.  Enjoy!

THIS INEVITABLE END
I truly apologize that I had to go and break your heart.
We knew a relationship couldn't even happen from the start.
our culture, bonds, and traditions run a very tight ship.
We knew breaking norms and living as outcasts wasn't hip.
We shared dreams together but make believe isn't worth living
when reality is the harsh truth that we'd just be sinning.

You said that THIS was INEVITABLE that it couldn't happen.
I can never be with you because it leads to a dead END.
Surely we thought differently and began rolling the die.
New habits crept in and perhaps things began to go alright,
but who were we kidding deep down inside we'd be living lies.
It tears my heart up because I can hear your silent cries.

I had to be the stronger one and I made sure this had to end.
After all, society knows we can never be more than just friends.
Sorry it hurts you so bad but protecting you is what was best.
If it had become too late for us, there'd be even more unrest.
Back to our beautiful lives we'll go on forgetting it happened
just like old television, life goes on without closed caption.

One day you'll thank me for all of this and what has happened.
It hurts now but you'll realize and understand all my actions.
Remember when you said feelings were temporary and go away?
Well, I thought deep with logic and reached a decision that day.
I am not asking you for forgiveness, so please blame me instead.
Look ahead to the blue horizon as new adventures await you ahead.

Very touching and sad.  Sometimes things start out very innocently but can change/evolve along the way when we least expect it.  That's all I have to say.

This is one of these pieces I just had to write.  Our cultural ties bond us.  Our culture gives us identity.  Without culture, who are we but out of control mammals giving in to primal urges instead of reason.  When we are bound by these traditions and a codes of honor in our culture, we have choices to respect it or not.  Caught between two worlds, some can struggle with the issues of our cultural taboos; primarily same last name relationships in today's age.  I'm neither here to approve nor disapprove but perhaps give a voice to those that are voiceless. 

To understand another person, one must empathize and wear their shoes.  Sometimes, we have to be in that situation to understand its complexities.  In other words, stop seeing black and white and look in the gray.  In the end, only you can make a decision.  Sometimes, heartbreak may be the result but whatever the case one should be prepared to face the consequences wholeheartedly .

Much love to everyone!

LH, I understand what you're saying and I agree, it really is up to the parties involved.   In some circumstances,  it's not always black and white; some decisions are harder to make than others; and whatever decision is made, you must be prepared to live with the consequences.  I can feel for the two parties involved in your poem.  I hope and wish them all the best.

Agreed.  May they find greener pastures below and bluer skies above as they soak in every moment that is LIFE.
