A Reminiscence
By Ana Ledesma and Jinn Camille Lopez

I was my own nemesis, when I brought my own misery
Our love was a fiasco, falling into an abyss of never return
Our wedding seemed florid with all the flowers and décor
Thought it was a jubilation, where we can be with friends and family
That was supposed to be the best day of my life
But soon it became the day of my destructions

An emblem of a lasting love, with this ring, I said “I do”
I truly believed our love would substantiate
Never would I have thought the vow we took would be sordid
As the years passed by we grew more and more incompatible
You became petulant, arrogant and egoistic
You deplored all that I did, I had tried to work this out

Even though you knew the predilection I had for you
You called me arid, lifeless and futile you said
A compromise I made to reach out, to make you happy
Repudiating the fact that you no longer loved me the way I did
I tried to augment my love for you, you stopped me
You suppressed me; your words were like daggers

You killed me that day you jilted me
I was stupefied by the love I had for you
Out of the darkness there was a light
He embellished me, made me believe again
I was in another realm with him
No longer was I a replica of a woman lost in love

A reminiscent the way we were
How could I be so oblivious, but yet I feel no remorse
Your name is not engraved in my heart
A debonair brought sunshine back
He is my antithesis and yet we make perfection
It’s ironic, but I found a new love

Lost in Love
I was my own nemesis. I brought misery to my life when I decided to stay at your side. Our love was a fiasco, falling into an abyss of never return. Our wedding seemed florid with all the flowers and décor. I used to think that day was jubilation, where we could be with family and friends. That was supposed to be the best day of my life, but soon it became the day of my destruction.

With the ring you had given, me, that day I truly believed our love would substantiate. Never would I have thought those vows we took would sordid. As the years passed by we grew more and more incompatible. You became petulant. Everything I did you deplore even though you knew the prediction I had for you.

You called me arid, lifeless you said. I tried to compromise, changing my ways to make you happy but it was not enough. I stayed by your side repudiating the fact that you no longer loved me the way I loved you. I tried to augment my love for you but you would not let me. You suppressed me with your words, hurting me deep inside, killing me softly with each word that came from your mouth. I loved you and always kept my fidelity intact. It did not matter to me that yours was not. I was stupefied by the love I had for you.

My life seemed to darken, but out of this darkness there was a light. He embellished me, made me believe again. I was in another realm with him. I was no longer the replica of a woman lost in a love that was never there.

I reminiscent the way things were with you and think to myself how I could have been so oblivious about you and me. I have no remorse towards you, but I don’t have your name engraved in my heart. I now have a debonair. The sun shines on me. My eyes brighten when I see him. We are antithesis and yet we make perfection.

It is ironic how I used to think I could never fall in love after you left. But now I know love is something that can’t be stopped. I truly know I have found my happily ever after.
