Decipher His Thoughts

i came across a case like historians

who failed to decipher scripts of old age

i failed to read his mind

who through his actions had put it on display

i failed to read his actions

 

kept his life locked behind the doors

never letting me in

and knowing

what he was going through

i foolishly

               tagged him

               blamed him

“for ruining our friendship”

 

the mizpah, the bond that kept us close

broke in an instant

bringing my world to an

“blackout”

my nights turned haunted again

the savior absquatulated me again

my ghosts began to rule over me again

leaving me in a state of despair
