Lose

By Dr Anjali Limanpure

Loosing is misunderstood,

Sometimes you loose them & on the other's ;

they, you.

How does one judge, who robbed whom.

You gave the perfect map of where to hit and hurt you,

For trust is a double edged sword and they chose to use it against you.

You pick up the pieces & sew up the wounds,

Just when you pull yourself together, a memory hits you.

The flashbacks, mocking you on your face.

Is that what you call a progress?

"We weren't supposed to make each other trip & fall" he said, and maybe that's true,

But what about "I'll always be there for YOU".

You promised that too, didn't you?

You hit the rock bottom and learn emotional

self defence,

In the process of building yourself up, you loose your innocence.

"Love is what you do,

Inspite of what you feel".

So, instead of thrashing their choices,

I'll let myself heal.

Anything worth having is almost never handed to you,

And failure is not a crime, it's all about perspective.
