Kampfen

this story told once by many,
shall once again be told by me.

Kampfen a buddy of mine,
was once a passionate fool,
he believed in love so much
he was bound to suffer.

he loved well, with all his heart
but she had never appreciated this fool.
one day he told her to stop lying,
she said she had no lies,
a week flies by and true the ship has sunk.

he thus lost a little faith, struggling on,
he decided to try once more.
a few hours past and the crew parted
before the ship was set to sail.

Kampfen has then lost his heart,
he had taken out his heart,
the heart capable of phantasmal
love and fed it to the dust.
Or should we say,
the world he lived in causes such
and that his life was tough?

this made Kampfen lose his feelings,
he wasnt human, more a robot,
operated on logics and assumptions,
his rights, his wrongs.

no one mattered, the definition
of his love was the physical intimacy,
the hour long fornication and the
friend he has for that night.

nothing else matters, he no longer felt pain,
happiness seemed distant but he didnt care.
he must let no one hurt him again.
and if he didnt love, no one could hurt him.

to him, loving is hurting.
but he couldnt see then, that hurting is
but only part of loving, there was still
much much more.

he never knew what was fear, he had no fears,
he faced death in the eyes, jumping
from roofs to roofs, from stories high,
to the levelled ground.
he walked across busy streets and he fought
with life as the stake.

then, a faithful encounter,
that one day changed his life,
that one very day altered the core of his resolve,
he was set to feel again.

he set his eyes on a special girl and he felt
his heart palpitating, fluttery,
with unbated beats slowly becoming rapid.

he soon came to search for his heart,
abandoning the thoughts that flesh on flesh
was indeed the only source of happiness,
retracing his steps and correcting the wrongs,
he must rebuild himself.

then, this lady he liked, seemed all too
unpredictable,
after he left his heart behind,
there was never once, not a single once,
had his mind been in a frenzy,
logic now defies him, he is afraid to make
false moves, and that had incurred her wrath.

now he thinks she finds him repungent,
he very much wants to apologise,
but it never seems to work..
he is already starting to lose
the meaning of his name

hey my dear friend.. dont worry..
you are now human again.. and one
day your love be reciprocated..
we all just wait and see.. dont be afraid.
