Who Is The Fool?

Maybe you don’t have to tell her
Maybe she has realised it
That impossible,
the story
of both of you has become
Maybe she has left you
She has completely forgotten you
Going on her life
Going out
and
laughing happily with those dear friends of hers
But still you just think about her!
Those memories,
which,
why, you just choose not to forsake
Now look at this:
Who’s the actual fool?
Who decides to stop living
Who has in mind to kill his life
living
beyond the shady veil of misery
due to a mere
girl
Wake up, hey you fool
Wake up and clear that mind of yours
Have you become so worthless?
Discarded down there?
Pull those legs of yours
and start
making a step
Move yourself forward and forward
and never
return
