Poem
You said you loved me I let down my robe I gave you a sight of what I had never let any other man behold, Then you said you needed me,And just like Isaac lay still on the altar Without a fight or argument with his father Because of the unquestionable trust that he had, I too lay down on your bed Convinced my racing thoughts and tensed up nerves to rest Then I gave you full control of everything that I had And I was willing to always go by this trend If and only when... You promised one thing That you would always love me, That you would always need me, I begged you to promise You quickly said yes... Magical doesn't fully describe it Lets call it beautiful You took me up the clouds over the hills Unable to take normal calculated breaths But still finding utmost pleasure in the struggle to stay alive I was yours and you were mine We were each other's for the rest of our lives... The lunch after I could rarely touch my food I kept mixing and turning the rice inside the soup My mind going back to that moment Replaying every second without missing a single detail Pausing and rewinding for better sound effects I was what they called stupified Dazzled by your love... Mary tapped me Saving me from being consumed by this my midday dream 'Guess what I forgot to tell you John texted me this morning Saying that he had missed me And that he wanted us to meet And the shocking bit is He said that he loved and needed me I really don't......' I didn't hear the rest of what she said My brain had frozen at that sentence The exact same words that you had used to lure me into your bed I felt my gut crump and congest For a moment, I couldn't even feel my legs... I wanted to ask you how you could betray me How you could play and toy with my feelings How you would callously go against your sworn promise, And then rude reality hit me Our terms of agreement Did not restrict your heart's movement 'Always love me Always need me' Yes... But you were free to add everybody else.
