Empty Heart

It was a late evening when I met you I walked into the room and I saw you Engrossed in what you were doing, without a care I knew then that you were a being rare I kept making efforts to garner your attention Which was tough, with your demeanour and gumption Of doing things right and doing them on time You wouldn't be distracted without a reason or rhyme But I finally broke through that hard external Structure you built around, and found love I felt was eternal Although I felt, a losing battle I was fighting And being in your company was rarer than Comet sighting You opened up to me, up to the threshold of your comfort And I was head over heels in love and I made all possible effort To keep you happy and always be with you like a useful tool But your actions kept making me feel like a fool My place in your life it slowly dawned Was requirement based, and your heart you never pawned For my happiness and you never saw us as one My heart shattered as though shot by a gun So I turned away with heart heavy but good wishes for you Prayed to the lord to give you success and happiness too My prayers were answered and you attained fame Adulation and followers, part of the game My mind degenerated, as for your sins I atoned I lost my sanity and everything I owned But even my insane mind only had thoughts of you Despite everything I went through, my heart had love for you Then I saw you one day as you walked past me Your eyes looking at me, but not seeing me You flicked coins towards me like a work of art They filled my begging bowl, but emptied my heart
