My Life

Original Submission by Earl Gem L. Hechanova

“Saturation”

I thought you believed in magic

Never knew the future would be this tragic

I kept you believing but ended up leaving.

Now I often pay visit to what could've been

At a distance never to be seen.

You convince yourself that it didn't exist

Yet it pains me that it meant nothing

When at that moment in time you we're my everything.
