You Broke Me

By Yamini Singh

I thought you are mine,

But you weren’t

I thought you’ll stay,

But you didn’t

I should have listened to my brain,

Because my heart was already a fool.

I thought you are different,

But you proved me wrong.

I defended you,

But it didn’t matter.

Why couldn’t you stay as dream forever?

Why did you become a reality and crushed me?

I kept you close,

You didn’t even try.

My innocent heart got lost in search of soul.

Why did you become a nightmare and kept me awake?

Why couldn’t you try to keep me close?

Why couldn’t you stay when you fell for me the most?

The day makes me forget and night wants to question.

My brain already gave up but my heart could not accept.

The burning ache haven’t left me yet.

My heart couldn’t understand that uncomplete letter.

I wonder what broken heart feels like,

I wonder does the pain and question ever goes away,

I wonder what I felt was true or a ruse,

I wonder how will I feel it again,

I wonder whether my broken shell ever stops questioning,

I wonder when will I forget this.

I don’t know what a broken heart feels like.

I wish it’s not a crushing recurring thought.

I wish you would have tried.

I wish my heart wasn’t a fool.

Afterall, this isn’t how a broken person feels right?
