Hurts

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.

[Angad Waraich]

Thank you for reading.
And yeah every artist has pain associated with them in some way or the other

[TheLostMind]

"I think if it were not for heartbreak there would be no poets." - I agree with you ma'am.. Most words bleed out from a wounded heart..

[Sami Khalil]

Nicely written with touching aspects. Bravo, sir...:)..........

After the break-up of my first love, my mother told me "to remember the good times"....but I found that remembering those good times only made me miss him more. Your poem reminds me of that feeling...that no one could ever fill that empty place in my heart. Thankfully, someone has....but at the time (sigh)...
You have touched my heart with your words.

Thank you Julie.
I am glad you could connect even if the thoughts weren't pleasant.

[Konigin]

I really like this. I loved the way you reinforced the feeling by repeating and italicizing those phrases. I could feel the emotions buried in the layers of this poem. I really liked it Angad. Well done my friend! :)

[Angad Waraich]

Hey!

[Konigin]

I really like this, I love the depth and emotion through it but some of it seems a bit near if you know what I mean? Really good read though!

[Angad Waraich]

Hey!

[justaishaaa]

Anytime! :)

[hardeep sabharwal]

well its a fine read, but I feel you can write it much better if u try as there are much scopes in love stories,, overall its fine

[Angad Waraich]

Thank you for your honesty and for reading :)

Angad from all the people you could have invited you ended up with the one that hates love poems. I am so sorry. It is just that I have always found them to be self - indulgent and overly melancholic. So I will try to focus on something different. There isn't anything different here. Well a lot of sadness, and melancholy and it is very obvious that you feel the loss. That bit about your assesment of the one to the everyone sadly it gets lost on me. If you are about to tell me that you have lost your individuality for someone else.

So sorry I am just not cut out for this kind of thing

We use an expression over here "There is plenty more fish in the sea"

Thankyou.

[Angad Waraich]

Well thank you for the honesty.
And no i have not lost my individuality.
But i seams of late every time i pick up the pen words such as this come out.
Maybe its just a phase or maybe not.
But well yeah thanks . :)

[Angad Waraich]

And no need for apologies, not many here speak what's on their mind.
And because you do, is one of the reasons i always invite you to read my work.

[MomzillaNC]

This is a very touching and sad write. Lovely, melancholy reverie.

[Angad Waraich]

[MomzillaNC]

You're welcome.

[Angad Waraich]

Appreciate it. :)
