I'm Hurt

I wish you were there
When I needed you the most
I thought you were the only one
Who will protect me, at any cost 

When my trembling hands 
Wiped off the heat of tears 
I was going through so much
All that my heart had always feared

The pain I felt right in the chest
Strong enough, to forget the rest
The swollen eyes, were a sign
I had lost the nutrients, the brine

The severity of sorrow, the sorrow
When you know, there is no tomorrow 
The decision I had to make that day
The Heart said stay, brain wanted to go

I couldn't hate you for this stuff
You're my love, it wasn't bluff
Now If I stay, I know I'll surely shatter
You can't fix me, you know this better

Her

Her,
Let's talk about her, 
She's always so bright, or it's all about the sight
They way she loves, despite the other's bluffs
When someone says her name
She keeps them without any shame
One day I asked her, what does she want
Said, I have some wishes, can someone grant
To be the one, whose taken care of
As I am soft, like a freshly baked loaf
To just be free, be free as a bee
To walk out the door and be real me
How can I be not objectified, besides they say
I like the way you smiled,
May I not be the one everyone wishes for
To be someone's everything they wish for
She said,
I'm strong, I'm built like this
To be the bait or just live to be his
 The list is huge and my clock is clicking 
I laugh with a boy and they start shipping 
Stress a distress, You have to look flawless 
When you're feeling like a mess
Body shaming, no we care for you
Where were you when my hands turned blue 
i asked, how do you handle all this,
Said, you should know, don't you know miss!
