I feel stupid really
For thinking only about my loneliness
Thinking about my pain
Only my melancholy
Thinking you didn’t think of me
Making me lost in my little world
I wondered you wanted me to suffer
I assumed your heart has become colder
I was in agony, according to my perspective
Which was self centred
Which was true, I don’t lie
But I feel I didn’t put your shoes on
And thought about how you feel
How you were burdened
How you remembered me
But had to make a stern face
I should have thought about you more
For I claim to be so in love with you
I do really, with every atom in my body
But truly I was selfish
I am ashamed of myself
Love should set the other free
And let them float as they choose
Involuntarily, I didn’t act the best I could
Forgive me please?

Loved the verse.
What resonated with me are these lines,
” I was in agony, according to my perspective
Which was self centred
Which was true, I don’t lie
But I feel I didn’t put your shoes on
And thought about how you feel
How you were burdened….”
Indeed , we need to hold the consciousness that how a situation occurs for us is merely our perspective. To become aware of other perspectives, we need to be empathetic and do appreciative listening.
