FRACTURED SOUL


I was primed to nuture your soul until the end,
Seeking to be your endless passion but most importantly, your best friend.
A bliss with no expectations, conditions or boundaries,
The blazing ember that burns for more than centuries.
Endowing my fragile heart to be embraced,
Unaware of the agony to be faced.


I too, believed, trusted and loved you with all that was mine,
Never depicting a torn love that I would decline. 
The whisper of promises, laughter and tears,
Your absence was unwaveringly one of my ultimate fears.



Time revealed the truth about what we shared,
Unfortunately it broke through at a time I was not prepared.
Betrayal and pain clouded my mind,
Thinking you were anomalous one of a kind.
Fighting inner demons and recovering from a heartbreak is not easy,
Sometimes when I ulttered words, you proclaimed they were cheezy.


Opening up to you was the biggest blunder I made,
Thus, the affection I had for you begun to fade.
Underneath the radiance I exhibited was a lonely soul looking for a heartfelt union,
It was as if I never had a companion.
Less attention and support triggered me,
My happiness never held significant, so I let it be.


Every nightfall tears rolled down my eyes,
Trying to comfort my own soul saying "you are the prize".
All the judgements I made were never acknowledged,
A relationship so complicated like the ones in college.


Blinded by your charming looks,
Desiring a celestial connection like from one of the books.
Doubts of giving love another chance,
Never looking back even at first glance.



Trusted that my heart was in good hands,
Breaking every part of me now including all the strands.
You will never see that side of me again,
Because your presence only brings back the pain.
