Do the gods felt the pain of losing someone too?
Or they knew all along
that we're stupid enough to understand
that love is not meant to be locked
in our hands
We thought we are capable of holding a Tesseract;
Yet to enter another dimension—without realising that
we are toxic, virulently noxious
we suffocated souls
we killed universes
that we have lost count of our murders

Due to our greed of time,
of space and aether
Without our cognizance,
We have been a black matter to a galaxy—a vacuum sucking life
For we don't know how to smile on our reflections
We destroy bodies that accepted our flaws
Again, we just ruined another cosmos

When the gods throw the dice,
Freeing love from its cage
Knowing that love can create or destroy
We have chosen the second option
Given the choice, we still chose to wreak havoc on
For we don't know that love should also be
As ephemeral and as fleeting as our existence

We failed to realize
we couldn't own even the quarks in an atom
—let alone the vastness of this cosmos we take part on

The gods must be crazy when
they say that love must set us free
But again and again, I will offer you this liberty
I probably still adore you with your hands around my neck
Or I did last time I checked
