Heartless

Girishma 2003 (Agra)

Free verse
I learn from experiences
So how can i readily accept love when
I never knew how it feels like
To be so welcoming
Of such a desirable lie
"Oh no sorry, it can't happen-"
All I ever said and heard
Broke hearts when I myself carried
A shattered one
The desire that once burned
Can't even find a spark now
Now my heart glows darker than ash
A ever so slight touch and
It will crumble.
