I Died a Little Inside

Taking my place in your gazing blue eyes Who stole the glow of my dawning sunrise? As defiling your virtues you obliquely lied, Pounding my heart till I died a little inside. When a brilliant sunny day said goodbye As lightening arrived to thunder blue sky Storming my life, you left me teary eyed Exacting high price by forfeiting my pride. Reluctantly I disclaimed your sweet smile As your blatant animosity put me in exile And adulating ill-will you ceded to hate, Trampling on destiny you altered my fate. On my horizon cried your reign of disdain As you rejected goodwill again and again. Remnants of aspirations no longer claim A desire of passions to reignite our flame. Meaning of love soon indelibly changed Revoking your name from souls estranged. Hurt still remained, woefully pacified-- Lingering listlessly, till I died a little inside. February 9, 2019 Placed first:Early March 2019 contest by Brian Strand Placed second:I died a little inside contest by Silent One

A lover's betrayal certainly stings, Vijay. Few things hurt as much as rejection, especially when one partner still clings to hope. It is easy to see why you feel like you "died a little inside." Beautifully written, my friend! Hugs, Carolyn

Love, a powerful emotion indeed. It can leave you breathless, when truly felt- and if not, heartbroken. You have expressed this perfectly. The pain, the hurt. Your words always move me. "Pounding my heart till I died a little inside" Yes, I can feel this. ~ Brandy

Poems like this make one to be resurrected because of their beauty my friend, Vijay and not die at all! ...probably a little bit...!
