Bleeding Heart

By Anushka Swain

I became the hopeless hope that drove him to grief

Pandora's box seemed less scary, but his ignorance gave shivers down my spine

Satiated my soul with melancholic lies

I wish I would have never fallen in love with you 

Wishing to let go, like that pretty flower allows its petals to let go off themselves 

I trusted you with my heart

And you sentenced me to grief

I wish I would have never fallen in love with you

All I needed was a tranquil love

Cause solitude embraced my shattered self when you abandoned me

Your words of assurance silenced my world of peace

I wish I would have never fallen in love with you

Deep down my misery, I burned myself to light your path of darkness

Burned till my heart ached, shrieked till my blood soaked

As that miserable thing writhes under your scornful gaze

I wish I would have never fallen in love with you

Demolished the confines of your agony

But got torn down due to your raucous love

Irony, as I still long for you with that longing void

Where once I had bloomed an alluring love

I still wonder where it all went crashing down

Down to my unfortunate fate

I wish I would have never fallen in love with you
