Destiny (the universe got it right, but you couldn’t)

The universe

Aligned our paths

And I, called it

Destiny

And then you uttered that word;

Destiny

But as time passes by

It is apparent that I -

Was the only one that believed

And just as that word drifted from my mind

And just as I started healing, and my chest;

was about to stop aching

"Destiny"

Was uttered again, by a stranger now

Amidst our conversation

And I no longer knew what it felt like to be

At ease,

Without thoughts clouding my mind or

An aching in my chest

And of all the words that could've been used

This once beautiful word, has been tainted

And of all the thoughts, about you, I've endured

The once beautiful thoughts, have been tainted
