Questions, Questions!

Questions, Questions!

Did I lose you
because I did not really believe
you to be mine?

Have I never had anyone,
REALLY MINE,
because I never believed someone
could be really mine?
Really anyone's?

Should I have taken you
for granted?
Abused you?
Should I have been painful and difficult,
like all those who I felt I belonged to?

Can we belong only there,
where we are not given any choice?

Can we belong only there,
where we are dominated,
or dominate?

Where we have no rights,
or all the rights?

Is liberty
all a pile of manure?
Are we only of the jungle, or savanna, still?

Can we never be equal
and still belong to each-other?

Or will you always keep finding
all possible excuses to deny
what you feel for me?

Will the brain-washing
that our society subjected us to,
always count so much for you,
that you will never create
an inviolable space for me within you?

Or come live within mine?

Will our connection wither
and die as do countless others,
simply because the twain are not certain?

Or is it that we really do have
an unbridgeable gap between us?

But then,
have you seen any gap,
that can never be bridged,
despite the belief of men
that the bridge is never too far?

Have I lost you because I lost hope?

Is it heroic to hope and act,
despite reality?

Or is it too stupid
to hope that counter-real reality
is creatable?

That it takes mere belief to do so?

Can you ever become mine
merely because I am yours
and want you to be mine?

Desperately?

Still?

And then,
do I have to be only The One?

Can you have
an undestroyable space within you
for those other than The One,
keeping the sanctum of The One
sacrosanct?

Can I accept being one
other than The One?

Do we create a connection
between us
only within the norms
set by the society and the movies?

Or can we create a new reality?

Do we even care?
Do you even care?
Do I even care?
