Manasvi Sharma Poet Free verse

Our Stars Don't Align

I thought you loved me
Even after you broke my hope in a thousand pieces 
And left me on my own to collect them
I thought you cared
You were the quietness i sought in the mayhem

You were the will to keep me going
The path I was confident of 
The only person
Who could see right through these walls
A different side of me
Which even I didn't know at all

All those nights we spent admiring the moon
When really I was admiring you
I felt so lucky 
Even if I didn't care about myself 
I cared about you
(And maybe I will always do.)

Why do I wreck my life for someone like you
Even after you break me again and again
Why do I still trust you
Why do I love you even after the pain

Why did you enter my life
Why did you even pretend to care
Why did you become my weakness
Whenever you were far,I craved you near


I need an answer 
Not a hanging reply
I need to know how much I mean to you
Somebody you love
Or just use to get by

Why was I so foolish
Why did I try...

Just give me back my heart that left with you
I am not asking you to stay
What else did you take...
My soul 
Which was never mine anyway

What about the chapter I wanted to write with you
The home I wanted 
To always be by your side
It's crazy really
When I never trusted anyone
With you it felt just right.

You were again in my dreams
I don't know if I was happy to see you again
Or sad because even after all this
You are the only place where my heart still felt at ease

Maybe I threw away my walls a little too far
Believing i deserved a try
Now I don't know how to build them again
I don't know if it's your fault 
Or maybe just mine

What we had was beautiful 
A work of art
But you tore apart the canvas
The broken pieces gash deeper than shards
They cut me apart

You moved on
But why are you still here

Why do you get a place in my heart
When I don't get one in your life
