Best Poems Written by Albert Bulaka

Nothing Left Inside My Chest

Once a heart used to beat to the rhythm
of love behind my ribs, you walked into my 
life and I poured all my heart to you.

for a while it felt like there were only two 
people in the world you and I. I thought ruled the 
world and that our hearts beat frantically. 

I thought we were in love but I guess I was
wrong. I loved you, you took it and kept it
we were suppose to share love but you were 
selfish with it. My heart you had but you tore it apart

You left it bleeding, as blood oozed out so did love
and every bit of life it had. It withered and died 
and you smiled and lied that you loved me.

what a fool I was to have listened to yo lies but
who would blame me when words sipped out of your
mouth with the sweetness of honey not knowing 
it will sting like a bee. the touch of your lips
deceived me and the look in your eyes 
blinded me.

oh now i have learnt from this that
loving someone is so intense
it feels like it will last forever. I
can't believe that you never feel 
the same way. 

I can't believe that this sacred relationship
has been betrayed. I was sure
that we were in the same wavelength and 
that we understood each other. Meanwhile,
we walked on parallel and eventually
divergent tracks the entire time. The feelings of
betrayal and hurt may take many years to heal.
because my chest is empty only pain remains
