The rollercoaster of… Love?

Uncategorized

I saw your eyes, so filled with grief,
I took you in my arms, forgot my pain,
Poured onto you all of my love,
Gave you my heart, body, and soul,
I knew I would never be put first,
But madly in love, I settled being second.

You told me how much she meant to you,
Oh, how she broke you, leaving you all alone,
I let you shed your tears upon my shoulder,
And watched you save her last bus ticket,
You carried it everywhere in your wallet,
As I swallowed my grief, didn’t give you a hint.

Then, somebody else entered your life,
You called her Venus, an embodiment of Aphrodite,
You brought her to the bed we made love in,
You told me how delicately you undressed her,
That’s when my heart could take it no more,
Tears ran down, and you said nothing happened.

Madly in love with you, I believed you,
And some months down the road,
There was yet another woman in your life,
You showed me her nudes, and all your sex talks,
Then, you told me that she meant nothing,
That was lust, and I’m the only one you loved.

In rage and heartbreak, I kissed another guy,
I thought I’d come home and tell you all about it,
But what happened was more than just a kiss,
He touched my soul the way you never did,
We talked in lyrics, and poured out our worries,
Oh, how, I almost fell in love with him.

Fast forwards, five years and multiple affairs later,
I opened my eyes, and then I realized,
My flesh and bones were the only things that mattered,
Yet, my heart craved for you, beaten and battered,
Somewhere deep within, I knew you loved me,
Is it my disillusion? Or do you love me?

But, nothing matters now, does it?
I’ve made up my mind, I’m walking away.

  1. I love how this story unfolds. The reader is drawn in and becomes emotionally invested in the outcome. As the story continues they feel most dramatically the emotions placed on the page. When written this well and honestly, you will have to forgive your readers for thinking this comes from personal experience. The proximity and tangibility of the emotions you invoke are rarely seen without firsthand knowledge. Very well written, little one!

    1. Your comment make me tear up… It’s been so long since I last visited WP. Truly missed it. Thank you so much, Brad! I missed you. ❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗💞💞💞🥰🥰🥰🥰

      1. Shreya!! I’ve missed you here. I’m doing much better, thank you for asking. My health is improving, but I am constantly tired and need more rest and stress management. How are you? Your poetry is truly becoming so great! ❤❤🤗🤗

  8. It takes courage to take those pain and not share to anybody but it demands to have a badass courage to pen down those thoughts into such a beautiful way.
    FAN!!!!!!

    I’m glad you’re happy happy now.
    Keep smiling.. that’s all I want. Proud of you ❤️

  15. Hey Shreya, this is weird— I was just wondering about you a few hours ago, if I’d accidentally unfollowed you perhaps? I thought I should check that I’m still following you next time I’m on wordpress. Well anyway that slipped my mind (as most things!) but then I saw this new post from you 😄. You’ve been missed! But glad you took some time that you needed. 💙

  17. Tomorrow (Thur. 26 Nov), here in the states, we will be celebrating Thanksgiving Day. I will be expressing a special thanks for discovering you and your blog.

  21. This is absolutely beautiful, Shreya. The sadness and pain you have portrayed here, is just heartbreaking. To write this well without experience, is magical and so beautiful. Thank you for this wonderful piece of art. please write more. I’d love to read it (followed your blog. 😊)
