A Broken Heart

By Surya Narayanan R

Like earthquakes, your words

Split my heart apart.

Is this a heartbreak?

There is pain but no red.

Is this how hearts break?

What breaks can be fixed but

Not as easy as a vessel we are.

If another chance exists, I’d even

Turn time to tell you

I’m sorry, I went too far.

It wasn’t a fight until truths spilled.

Can’t bring back what lies killed.

Don’t know what got to my head.

Ever since you weren’t in my bed,

I blamed the moon for glittering

The tears that I sed.

Could fate not want us to end up together?

We looked lovely. Didn’t we?

Hope you still remember how we

Wanted to have

Our silly little dream,

Together, forever.
