Was It Only Me-A Poem by Devi Nina Bingham

It was you I never knew. Or was it only me?

Bounding up hills bursting with trees

like the lithe bucks we were, yet, not meant to be.

Cruel, cruel fate and destiny.


Merely a shadow of my imagination

a thorn on the vine and other humiliations.

Chasing a kite of passionate vexation

that only led to consternation.


An aberration of flirtatious occasions

I longed for any meaningful translation.

Until the day you made the declaration:

that you had fallen in love.


It was then I never knew you. Or was it only me?
