Blessing and a lesson

You wanted to stay when I decided to leave after waiting for so long.

BLESSING AND A LESSON

I needed you so bad,

I wanted to meet you,

But I was not your priority.

I wanted to forget you,

I gathered courage within myself and I did,

I distanced myself from you,

But you never did. 

My heart throbbed in pain 

When I was away from you,

My eyes poured rain

When I couldn't see a future for us. 

I missed you and knew that you did too,

Nights, I spent sleepless,

Thinking you spent the same way,

It took me time,

To move on,

I gathered courage and I did.

One fine day, 

You appeared,

I couldn't meet your eyes,

And my heart whispered 'too late'

I struggled,

I was restless,

You lived,

While I felt breathless,

I wanted to die,

You wanted me to live a life along with you,

I cried,

You suffered in silence,

I died,

Because of the situations.

I became weak,

You were my only strength,

As you were gone,

I learnt how to be independent.

One fine day, you came.

My heart skipped a beat,

I wanted to end the game.

You asked for a chance,

But now I wasn't the same.

You suffered,

My eyes shed tears,

You were helpless,

I felt the same too,

You came,

When I wanted to leave,

I felt bad, a chance, I couldn't give,

All the promises, all the believes,

Came to an end and I feel deceived.

Love, once again I couldn't receive

And I am left here in tormented memories, to grieve.

Emotions are like the spice of poetry. They just create a depth and life to it that just draws you in. I see that in the poems you write. Just keep writing, your writings may just affect people more than you realize.

[Priyanshi]

Last stanza is too good, with the rhyming words...It's better to end the game of love and hurts, when it hurts you too much... memories do stay, but time, gradually will take away...
Try to smile and keep your smile widening, because your smile matters a lot for the one who wanna to see you smile.

[Najam Us Saher]

Your words are really touching and true. Thank you so much for reading and for sharing your feelings.
