Heartbreaking

My heart is breaking in a million pieces.
Why did you have to shatter it to bits?
Were you just marking your time or
Are you actually willing to call it quits?

I feel like my flesh has been ripped
From my very bones, and all the while,
You are acting as if nothing has happened.
My face shows nothing, not even a smile. 

My world is collapsing all around me,
And you sit over there uttering not a peep.
Am I supposed to forget all our years together?
Or this nonchalant facade must I upkeep?

Do you even hurt? Are you wounded?
Are you incapable of simply feeling?
You broke my walls down a long ago
And made me believe I was worthy of healing.

Now, I just want to scream and wail.
I want to rip my heart out of my chest
And give it to you to take on your way,
As you forget what has transgressed.

I knew there was something amiss,
Yet you let go and gave me your bombshell.
Your confession was not what I was expecting,
And once again I am in an agonizing hell!

Why so cool? Do I not matter?
Of love, are you even capable?
Am I such an awful wife, that 
You made this agony inescapable?

I do not want to give up us,
I want to know what you disparage.
Are we over? Truly and utterly done?
Do you want to save and salvage this marriage?

Faraz Ajmal Date: 3/13/2018 12:57:00 AM Ah you have written it really beautifully, I can feel the love and pain in your words, love and marriage, two peoples are responsible for it, in doing and even in breaking, it can only be safed when both are willing to, it s basically like a rubber, if one left, it will hurt other, if we give love in return we also want love, good luck and a really nice written poem Login to Reply
