Hurts

Hurts

A Poem by Angad Waraich
"

So it’s true, when all is said and done, grief is the price we pay for love.

"
 
I Drink,
To my grief
My never ending misery.
I Drink,
For the past
The unforgettable memories.
I Drink, not to forget but to go back and relive how it all used to be.


I Fell In Love,
The time,
I saw you smile, for the very first time.
I Fell In Love,
The time,
My heart skipped a beat, as it saw you leave .
I Fell In Love,
The time,
We stayed up and talked through the night .
I Fell In Love, the moment I knew you're not 'THE ONE' but my 'EVERYONE'.


It Hurts,
Not because, you don't love me,
But because for me you are the dream, my only reality.
It Hurts,
Not because, you love another man,
But because, I still remember what it felt like everytime I held your hand.
It Hurts,
Not because, not because you chose to walk out the door,
But because, you are present in everything beautiful and  all my poetry.
It Hurts,
Not because, we could never be,
But because, of the uncertainty of all that could be.
What Hurts, is not you leaving but, all the good memories, playing inside my head on repeat.. As they remind me of something that can never again be.

It Hurts,
Not because, not because you choose to walk out the door,
But because, you are present in everything beautiful and all my poetry.

A gorgeous and personal write. One I understand all too well. I think if it were not for heartbreak there would be no poets.

Oh, the pain of heartache, and you rose above the clique love poem which I suppose is a clique, and it flowed so nicely and every word you used beautiful and the journey to the end was sad; was smiling, then a sigh. But because you are present in everything beautiful and all my poetry. Wow. Thank you. Great writing.

And well most of us do!
A very good write Angad. This one has come right from your heart. I love the way you start the poem. Again, the way you portray your loss is exemplary. The lines I loved the most :
"It Hurts,
Not because, not because you choose to walk out the door,
But because, you are present in everything beautiful and all my poetry."

I also loved the way you used "not because" twice to add "more emotion"
Great work :) .

It should be "because you chose to walk", choose is the present form, but the words around this indicate that it should be past tense. I particularly enjoyed the lines which lay between the different segments, they were all very poignant and added a deft blow to the heart of the piece--giving this palpable pain. Yes, this is so very true; the idea of what could have been... how can we not play back those sorts of feelings when our hearts are scattered?

Words that ring so true for those left behind with the wounds of hurt and love. Well done, as I could feel the emotion in your words
