I had almost forgotten that I had not put up the title for the story! N worse stil, the title I had intended... but then, "Better late than never!", so renamed it this mornin...
The title that came closest to what I wanted was "Murphy Reloaded!" Thanks to Priyadarshini for tat. I also considered "Gone with the wind! " But that reveals the story way too much...
Anyway, thanks for ur support...
N yes, I hope to be a lil more regular in posting... Lets c...

Rival

Crawling years that refused to go by,
filled by a desire to meet an adversary,
The belief in a silent promise hidden somewhere
making everything ever so magical;

And then a discovery, of the finest I could hope for
A competition, a pain, an equal brain,
To walk against, at each step, and to oppose,
to constantly struggle, and for wits, to match, against;

It was a challenging race, and a spring of joy
and yet, it’s over now- I lost!
There is nothing left in me now to reach the finishing line
After all, the race is over- I am spent!

I search within myself for an answer I had when life began
Where is the cheer? The promise? The hope?- I am empty!!
