Twisted Dreamer
I tip my hat to you, for I am the twisted dreamer you didn’t seek
But before you dismiss me, please give me a chance to speak
Lend me your ear as no other as I may spin you a tale of proportions epic
You may want to get comfortable, this will take more than a sec
If you so please let me set the stage of this wonderful tale
Of how we were so destined to meet and how so destined to fail
In what matters most and what become of our very ways
Of what once was, and is no longer, that of our glory days

Of how we were so destined to meet and how so destined to fail
In what matters most and what become of our very ways
Of what once was, and is no longer, that of our glory days

Those last three lines tug at the heart, misfit. It's almost like you can view it from an unattached state of mind now - and are just happy to tell the tale, having survived.
Well done! You're doing fantastic this year!

Thank you dearest Ahavati. I am so very glad to have both the opportunity to write and to share it. Thank you for your kind words and honest opinion. I value it.

"Of how we were so destined to meet and how so destined to fail"
... it seems we have a constellation-pattern in our psyche/consciousness that pushes us towards playing out fundamental issues that need resolving - and even though we're aware of them and don't want to fall down the same hole again, we still do (at least that's my experience) - viz: Portia Nelson's poem "An Autobiography in Five Short Chapters".
I guess it's a theme explored in some Greek tragedies too.
