The Unfinished Chapter - 99


Chapter 99 

One chapter ends and another begins 
Life she was told is about chapters 
But is it? 

What about the unfinished chapters in between? 
Chapters stay unfinished…till she’s ready to close them 
Some memories make her smile 
Others are like the treacherous sword on the gallows 

A constant fight between happiness and sorrow 
Hope and defeat 
Is she really turning these pages? 
Time is surreal 

She looks at the eyes in the mirror 
She knows the feeling only too well 
She doesn’t need a bookmark for this 
She goes back anyway 

Is it her or is it life? 
If it’s her, she has a solution 
If it’s life, she still has a solution 

No more going back chapters 
No more bookmarks 
This is one chapter that is compelled on staying unfinished 
This is one dance she’s dancing alone 

She laughs at the irony of it all 
Her mind takes her back…but only just 
Her aching heart and tired soul consume her 
They bring that unfinished chapter to her fore again 

Time, time they say has the answer 
This is one time she quit on time 
Will her chapter remain unfinished? 
Or is the unfinished chapter really a finished one?
