The end from the start.

"What is love?" You asked
I told you,
"All about caring, no pride, all feelings unmasked
Did not you hear me?
Were the sounds of your soul too loud?
Did deception scream? Did ego shroud?
Because the words I uttered
Had by then, fluttered
Failing to touch the depths of your heart
But remember,
We all end from where we start
**
You held my hand but your eyes darted
Told me you loved me, your mask never parted
I caressed you fingertips,
Surrendering my heart in your palm
You pretended you held it with care,
When your eyes brimmed with calm
A tender feeling surged through my heart
Because I forgot,
We all end from where we start
***
Yet all along
Your hands touched, your tongue hinted words
I'd wish I'd not be hearing
So I made my hand's touch, my tongue scream words,
Your pride berefted you of hearing
****
A man out his mother's womb,
Stands so tall
He forgets he'll fall
He forgets that there'd be a day,
When he'd be dug back in the Earth's womb,
When he'd be a mere handfull of bones,
That would fit elegantly inside a baby's cradle
No body to flaunt, no soul, no pride, no heart
Alas! We all end from where we start
