REFLECTIONS © 2011

Against my crushed chest,

The imperfect crime, with love

Standing as the main subject.

It is love, with its complexities,

That takes center stage in this drama,

And the imperfect crime, reflected

In the pains of the heart and reason.

The weight of the mistake, the unatoned guilt,

Is a burden that clings to the being,

And love, even with its flaws,

Is the lead actor, driving the suffering.

Thus, the crushed chest bears

The weight of crime and love in conflict,

And each heartbeat is a reminder

Of the lived drama, of the love left unsaid.
