All Meant Nothing

 The journey thus travelled so far

Meandering in an amazing motion

The highs and the lows, 

The joys and pains experienced. 

The tears were real, so were the sacrifices, 

The happiness shared in nothingness 

The sorrow that came in plentitude

The calm that was shared in the midst of storm.

Love meant everything 

It meant all such that it meant none!

Love was so full but empty, void!

Lovely promises, words, actions! 

All full of lies 

Empty.... Null.... Void...

Hearts beating as one, never the same 

The other becomes the sacrifice,

Strangers turned into lovers then strangers,

With bitter memories...

It was then, we all realised...

It all meant nothing!
