One Sided Hurt

By Rabhya Gupta

Pushing her away was so easy

But suffering alone was not the promise

Not letting her know was a lone decision

What she wanted, he never cared.

It was tough to breathe.

The vision was constantly blurry.

Her skin was always tingling.

And the feet were always tapping.

To wait without knowing a thing.

Flipping albums were the only relief.

She was still waiting, yet she wasn't

Coz this weight of time was a one-sided love

Wasted days, hours, and nights

Coming out of home into a light

A cold breeze, a chill through the spine

Taking a walk, but for the last time

Blinded by lights and then hit hard

Rolled on the road, lying in a pool of blood

A side of the face covered in dirt

And his break was a "one-sided hurt."
