(this poem is written from a girl's perspective)
you held me when i was low
showed me the beauty of the world
stole colors from the rainbow
fuelled my dreams with it
the rain drops doesn't amuse me any more
bound by your love, i cant free myself
my screams went unheard in the darkness
the silence, the desolation is alarming
those mushy songs which kills me now
filled me with you when my days were green
your heartbeats made me feel secure
when i got suffocated within my walls
you held my hands, made me yours
promised to share your surname
what do i call myself today?
i forgot that i too had a name!
this smoke filled room reminds me of you
smothering, tears blurring my vision.
the smell of whiskey still lingers
the unfinished bottle thrown casually
with every passing day my life unfolds
my friends help me regain the trust
i loved you and i still do
but you went off when i told you not to
i pity you if you feel you've won over me
the wounds have only made me stronger
i would rise like a phoenix and i would stand
i trust my love, myself. i breathe.
