mahiwaga

I'm not really all that mysterious

fragment lacking antecedents

that which I thought the greatest thing
this I had never lost
for I had never possessed it
it was never mine to begin with

but though I hoped for it in vain
against all evidence, against all reason
it does not mean there was nothing real
and that I let what was real
fail and fade
is the regret that wakes me from sleep
leaving me staring in the lonely darkness
listening to words that were never spoken
