Broken Poem by Gauri Gupta

Innocent and naive
She had hope, and faith
In goodness of men
In goodness of their hearts
Until he came and broke her

A romantic, a lover
Believed in happy endings
In all things pure and kind
Until he came and broke her

Promised to love her
To hold her, grow old with her
He was her rock, her faith
Her silver lining
Her reason to smile
Until he came and broke her

Shattered and confused
Bitter and spiteful
With no strength to fight
Or will left to survive
No feelings or emotions running wild
No ray of hope or hint of smile
Cold and lifeless, in despair
Unalive, unpresent, barely there
Oh yes, he came and broke her.
