Broken Heart

So this is how it feels, to walk around carrying a broken heart,
Trying to drag yourself while your broken heart anchors you to the ground,
Why would you do such a thing to a someone?
Could it be out of hatred or is it the causality of love?

I was ready to give you everything,
My love, my time, myself,
But I guess you found it better to destroy me,
And walk victorious over my ruins and call it just a joke.

Am I that meaningless and despicable that I deserved all of this from you?
Or was it all a game for you to test how long I would stand your torment?
I truly am sorry that I wasn’t a real challenge for you,
For you ruined me with your first lash at me.

I was ready to make your life a living paradise,
A heaven down on earth with me,
But I guess it wasn’t meant for us to be, 
For our perception did not meet.

Therefore you broke me,
You made me love you and bound me with a leash,
So that once I began to see the truth and stray away,
You would pull me back and strike at my emotions.

I really felt we could have been great together,
But you truly proved me wrong,
Hopefully I’ve learnt my lesson now,
Not to be this naive next time.

Broken hearts were met to be mended. where one finds love today, there is more love out there if you look. this was very romantic, enjoyed reading it.
