Useless pursuit

In the tapestry of trust, you're a thread pulled taut,

A figure in shadows, weaving deceit and doubt.

With shovel in hand, you dug my destined pit,

Whispered sweet nothings while your heart took a split.

 

Your words, sharper than shards of a shattered mirror's glee,

Reflected a tale of me, distorted for all to see.

In the whispers of gossip, my name took flight,

As you danced on the fabric of my dignity's plight.

 

You laughed at my stumbles, as I fell in your snare,

Yet, in your mind, it was love that you did declare.

But love doesn't lay traps, nor does it manipulate,

It doesn't leave bruises, nor does it berate.

 

The door you closed, the path you thought blocked,

Was but a mirage, a game that I had long clocked.

For in the eyes of the Almighty, no door is ever shut,

And in the heart of the faithful, love is never put.

 

They whispered in your ear, those serpents of doubt,

That she would crawl back, like a moth to your flame's pout.

But I am not a moth, nor a creature of the night,

I am the dawn, a new day, a fiery light.

 

I don't seek forgiveness, nor do I regret,

For the path you offered was a life filled with threat.

I am not a pawn to be played in your game,

I am a queen, and my heart's not to be tamed.

 

The visions and dreams that guided my soul,

Were whispers from heaven, a story to be told.

A tale of a woman, whose worth was divine,

Not meant to be tainted by your vile design.

 

You, with your arrogance, your deceitful charms,

Thought me a toy to be played with by your arms.

But the God I serve, the one I adore,

Would never allow your love to be my norm.

 

You may find joy in the maidens you've bought,

But your heart's true love is not what you sought.

For in your haste, you've lost what's truly rare,

A love that's pure, a heart that's fair.

 

Your mind may drift, your thoughts may roam,

But in your mind, I will never be a permanent home.

For I am a river, ever-flowing and free,

Not a pond to be captured by your greed.

 

So go, marry your maidens, live your lies,

While I ascend to the clear blue skies.

I am not your loss, for I was never yours to claim,

In the grand design of life, it was your soul that was lame.

 

I've cleansed my heart, I've prayed my soul clean,

From the stains of your touch, from your malicious meme.

You're not in my dreams, nor in my prayers,

For love is a garden, not a thief's lair.

 

Do not waste your breath, your schemes, or your time,

In trying to pull me back to your rhyme.

For I am the sun, and I will rise,

Without your shadow, without your lies.

 

Your fat friend, with his lustful gaze,

Thought to make me his, a prize to amaze.

But he saw my worth, my inner light,

And knew that for him, it would be a fiery fight.

 

Yet, you were the one, the chosen pawn,

To bring me to your side, with your charm drawn.

But love is not a spell, nor a magic trick,

It's a bond that's gentle, not a force that makes one sick.

 

So let me go, let your mind be still,

For in the grand scheme, your love was never real.

Accept the truth, let your ego take a dive,

For not everything you want is yours to achieve.

 

And in the quietude of the night,

When your heart does truly yearn for a spark's light,

Remember the girl you once tried to tame,

I am the storm, and you're just part of the game.

 

For I am the moon, the stars, the sea,

Far beyond your grasp, forever free.

I've set my sails on a destined quest,

Where love is pure, and hearts are blessed.

 

I am the wind, the fire, the dawn,

I am not the girl who'll ever be drawn.

To your manipulation, your deceitful song,

For I am the one, who truly does belong.

 

To the heavens above, to the earth so vast,

Where love is true, and hearts are cast.

So let your games end, let your lies be told,

For my heart is with me, and forever bold.

No amount of regret can change the past. The time wasted is time lost, it can't be retrieved. There's no such thing as time machine.

We should focus on lesson we learnt. We have all learnt our lessons. It was only our test of faith in God ultimately, rest everything just happened according to our choices we made.

There's no use crying.
There's no use getting angry on others.
There's no use replaying failed scenarios in our mind.

It has made us wise, mature, reasonable and strong.

It's an irreversible situation.

Trust lost can never be regained. No matter what one may do.
