Smile

By Saket Kashyap

It was really hard for him to

Smile; when he heard the words,

Which broke his heart into smithereens.

It was the first time he understood,

The difference of Love and infatuation.

He had experienced it for the first time.

He is shattered but still

Collecting himself and smiling.

The thing breaking him more is,

The thought of promises.

Who is talking about unsaid ones?

Answer me for the one said.

Answer me for the things

Told not to do.

He is thinking of all that

And continue smiling.

Emotions are churning out,

In the form of poetry.

She was the reason to smile,

She still is the reason to smile.
