In this space, I write not to explain life, but to explore it. Pause with me, linger between the lines, and perhaps you’ll discover a piece of your own story here too. 🙂

Category: Me and my broken heart…

  • Testing Times…

    1

    Feeling so helpless and low

    Controlling, but tears constantly show

    Breathing is tough and heart is paining

    Looking for sunshine amidst this raining

    Nowhere to look for the heartwarming solace

    How to calm down, how to slow down the pace

    Mind is boggled, and heart is pounding

    With various thoughts my vision is shrouding

    Each step seems like a walk in the dark

    In an ocean alone amidst the sharks

    There is no way out, only destitution

    Faith and patience seem the only solution

    Looking around frantically for hope

    Trying to hold tight to the slipping rope

    Panting my way up this steep climb

    Holding on in this testing time

    Getting past the challenges as they come

    Searching for that silver lining post this glum

    Trying to be strong and trying to smile

    Walking along on this endless tough mile

    Waiting for this test to end

    Awaiting the rainbow along the bend

    For flowers to bloom, an end to this gloom

    Before all my energy gets consumed

    For showers of blessings to come my way

    And wash all the pain away

    For smiles to linger and not get faded

    For harmony to remain and not get invaded

    Catching up on my breath and holding tight

    Have no more strength for another fight!

     

  • I Live, ‘coz I have to…!

    1
    This heart ache I can’t explain
    No logic for these eyes to rain
    No sense behind this illogical brain
    Still thinks of you – truly insane!
     
    With each passing moment I see
    My life passing by without any glee
    As if, I am already done
    In nothing now there is any fun!
     
    Whatever I do, wherever I go
    I remember you and this I know
    Life will never be the same for me
    Without you to behold, without our dreams to see!
     
    No point in dwelling in the past
    Why to miss that, which didn’t last
    Why can’t heart register this simple fact
    Nothing will ever bring you back!
     
    Will go on… but to forget – I can’t commit
    None other in my heart will ever fit
    Away though, but in my thoughts always
    You will remain all night and days! 
  • Why?

    1

     

    My lonely heart, my saddened soul, still long for you my dear

    That you will hold me very close, and will always be there near

    My eyes still long for your loving face, my ears still long to hear

    Your soothing voice expressing true love which can free me from all the fear

    Deep within this insatiable thirst, to know that you still love

    Why is it that even after trying hard, your thoughts away I can’t shove

    Why do you still linger in mind, why do you not leave me

    When you can’t be close enough, then why don’t you free me

    I still look around when I am out there, have a feeling that you are somewhere close

    Just an inkling of you being around, and my silly heart nearly froze!

    When I know that you won’t be there, then why do I still search for you

    What is it that I still want to hear, frankly I myself have no clue

    Whatever I do, wherever I go, I want to share with you all

    I yearn for your soothing caress, when misery any befalls

    Deep within engraved in heart is your love which will never die

    Why did you come, why did you leave, that will always remain a big why!

    As tears fall and I miss you, there is nothing more that I ask

    Than to know the true feelings, hidden under your mask

    But maybe they are better hidden for if they get revealed

    Don’t know how will I ever control myself under this weak shield!

  • Separated soulmates

    Why did you come, why did you speak?

    Why do you always make me feel so weak?

    Why did you meet me why did you leave?

    Why do you live in me yet I feel bereaved?

    The way you make me feel no one does

    Then is it right that I hide from you all my fuss

    I don’t tell you that my smile is fake

    All my bliss of this so called life is fake

    The moment I was made to part from you

    I died within and wonder how no one knew 

    The tears I cried, the sighs I took

    How when I walked, from within I shook

    Why did I hide, why didn’t I say

    What you meant to me in every way

    Why did I please those who said

    My heart will recover from its shreds

    All these years when you were not here

    Not a day passed when your voice I didn’t hear

    Not a moment passed without your thought

    Everyday from my heart, my mind fought

    The distances grew and I wondered if we’ll ever meet

    I was sure in this life we’ll never greet 

    But the hope within always remained 

    Somehow somewhere…. I always prayed

    And then suddenly there you were

    My heart was bouncing with the joy so clear

    We laughed and spoke at great length

    But still I hid from you the way I felt

    Because what you made me feel scared me too

    I longed for you after so many years too!

    Do what I have now hold no meaning at all

    Am I ready to give it up all?

    Just this thought made me freak out

    That I have to myself now cut you out 

    I was blunt and I was rude

    Eventhough within, my heart was in feud

    This time when I said goodbye

    I knew I’ll not ask me why

    It is my call and it is my word

    To live what is now my world

    Eventhough I cry but still I know

    Somewhere someone will wait to show

    Why you came and what you mean to me

    Why my soul rejoices when you near be

     

  • Partings…

    Partings

    Life brings surprises, such that you’re thrown off-shore,

    Nothing about it you can do, just heal your heart which is sore;

    Deep melancholy takes over, you don’t know how to escape,

    There’s a cloud of grief over you, which is overbearing in shape;

    The saddest part of you is that, you had no vice in mind,

    You had always done only good for those, who gave grief of such kind;

    With firm determination, you think of cutting all ties,

    But still thinking of the other person, your heart in abundance cries;

    You’re of no eminence, gets proven once again,

    You feel cheated, beaten and left bereft in harsh rain;

    Was the past only a myth, is what crosses your thought,

    Why did they ever cheat you, when only the truth was which you ever sought;

    Now you’ve left things as they are, and decided to part ways,

    How much ever you love others, your self-esteem can’t be given away;

    Praying for courage, you start your journey apart,

    With wish for well-being for those, who were once your own part!

  • LOVELESS LIFE!

    Loveless life

    I have given up on love, I have run after it all my life,

    I was not made for love, so why this painful strife!

    Love has always deceived me, it never stayed by my side,

    No one truly loved me, Oh! how much ever I tried!

     

    I waited eagerly & patiently, for someone to come

    To sweep me off my feet, and give me kisses some.

    To fill my heart with a love song, which would never die,

    To stay with me forever, until my last I lie!

     

    But sad that people came and went, no one who hugged me tight,

    Who looked into my eyes & said, “Baby, I will set things right”!

    I kept waiting for someone special, to come and give melody,

    To my pure soul & true heart, but alas – nobody!

    Now I am exhausted & saddened, by this painful fact,

    That I don’t deserve love, yes, this was in my destiny packed.

    I have “finally” given up on love, tired of running after it all my life,

    Will live with what I have, as there is no desire left to strive! 

  • Love is Deception!

    Love = Deceit

    Life is lonely, I am low

    Where are you, why did you go?

    I dreamt of your love, I wished for your care

    But you only told lies, which was tough to bear.

    Now when I look back, I understand,

    You never really wanted to hold my hand,

    You used & threw my love away,

    I was naive to think that you will stay.

    You broke my heart again and again,

    But my love for you kept my ego in chain,

    I want to turn the clock back,

    And erase your presence from my life’s rack,

    Your memories hurt me and make me cry,

    Your name gives pain and I wanna try

    To forget you forever and move on in life,

    To believe that I deserve true love in life!

  • Adieu…

    Love

    My heart aches for the love which is deep engraved within,

    It is not just the tears you see but much more which my soul sheds

    This pain is engulfing me and I don’t know how to express

    Is it insecurity or jealousy or just love for you which makes me fret!

    There seems no solution to my misery this sadly I’ve realised

    As I can’t happen to trust your love now with all the time that you’ve broken mine

    Do I love you enough, or am I just being selfish?

    Am I being made a fool, or am I just being childish!

    I want to let you free and want you to come back on your own

    But on letting you free, feel a stab of pain which craves to be shown

    My heart cries for the good times, will there be none for us?

    As since we are together, there has been only fuss

    Tedious times galore have broken me into pieces

    I don’t feel like gathering up and straightening the creases

    Want to run away now and hide somewhere where you won’t find me

    Don’t want to give you another chance to break more within me

    But shackles of life hold me where I am

    Like I am being punished and it has still not come to an end

    The shadows of past haunt my heart

    Like the inevitable will happen soon

    It might be just fear, but isn’t the source of this fear

    from you a boon?

    When togetherness is marred and cursed in such a way

    Then better to say good bye and run away

    I want to go now so please set me free

    For your happiness is to be found without me

    I will remember you and I don’t think I’ll ever be happy

    But its better one, than more in this situation crappy!

    I know you won’t miss me, for you will find love and happiness

    From up in the sky, a star will still offer you loving caress!

  • Heartbroken…

    It pains to feel unimportant

    It hurts to have no value

    To be a substitute only

    To be there only to support you

    I wanted to be the need

    I wanted to be your desire

    I wished to be longed for

    With love as strong as a fire

    Heart feels choked

    and breathing seems heavy

    Living seems a burden

    With this tax of pain on it levied

    Responsibilities around

    Don’t let me retreat

    So much to do surround me

     and I marvel at my feat

    To live with this endless agony in heart

    To survive this rejection once more

    To cry even when eyes seem to be dry

    To hide emotions coming to fore

    I just want to start anew

    I don’t want to trouble you any longer

    I want to set you free from me

    Make you choose your love a bit stronger

    May God keep you away from crappy

    It is my heart’s only wish currently

    I want to see you extremely happy

    And live the life you deserve lovingly

  • Heart ache…

    Heart ache

    I got to know long back how it feels, when my heart breaks

    But didn’t know that it can break again n again, in the very same way

    The same emotions, the same helplessness, the same gloom, the same heart ache

    Tears non stop even when, already they’ve been shed all day

    There is no sound of this heart breaking, no one really bothers how I feel

    Whether I do self-pity, or stand up strong in a day or years or never will

    Images from the time when I felt all broken, keep playing in my mind

    I want to redo them all together, stop, erase and rewind

    With my face stained with tear marks, with my mind all reeling

    I turn towards the only one who can soothe my soul from peeling

    Even though I feel angry at HIM, for giving me this heart wrenching pain

    I know deep down in my heart, there’s reason for this agonising rain

    HE just looks upon with HIS heart charming smile, as if to say -“I am there”

    “Don’t worry my darling, I’ll take care of you”, but the relief seems no where

    I get to a point where I question my self, what is it so wrong that I have done

    What is it that I am being punished for, is there no way that it can be undone?!

    But this vicious circle will only go on, in sometime I might feel little better

    Only to fall in similar situation again, and get my heart shattered again for ever

    Wish this could all end soon, as this takes a toll too heavy

    Life seems too much to handle with this unexplained tax on it levied…

  • You gave me nothing but pain…

    Me-And-My-Broken-Heart-Picture

     

    You gave me nothing but pain
    Life with you was only rain
    I kept longing for sunshine
    Hoped someday I’ll smile & not whine
    But you gave me nothing but pain…
    All my efforts went in vain
    My dreams got shattered by you
    and I got nothing in lieu
    You gave me nothing but pain…
    I was mad and not sane
    To have fallen for your charm
    You did me so much harm
    You gave me nothing but pain
    I felt I was in chain
    You were ruthless and cruel
    My tears gave you fuel
    To give me nothing but pain…
    You were truly insane
    To not see my love & care
    Oh! how did I ever fare
    When you gave me nothing but pain…
    You left me sobbing & sighing
    I also thought of dying
    But your love was never true
    My wound I will sew

    My heart still aches
    And my body shakes
    My eyes shed tears
    My mind remembers fears
    It was not love that you had
    You hurt me and you were bad
    Why did you ever come my way!
    What do you now have to say?
    I feel angry and betrayed
    I don’t wish you had stayed
    I just want to hurt you and make you cry
    But even that I wouldn’t try
    I am happy you’re gone
    You have lost & I have won

    I wish I was strong
    To end it back & long
    But someday you’ll have to pay
    For what you did the other day
    You hurt a soul which was pure
    Though I have survived and will cure
    You will surely suffer in rain
    ‘Coz you gave me nothing but pain!!!
