Heart Aches Poem by Kainaat Aslam

My heart aches,
as I lay awake
Throughout the night,
I see no light
as sadness envelops me in tight
squeezing me in with all its might

I am to blame
for I came,
But all you did was call me lame
You played me like a game,
without truly knowing my name
I will never be the same

My heart was shattered,
but to you it never really mattered
I used to be flattered,
with all your chatter
My hopes were tattered,
and my hurt became fatter

I tried to hate you,
But I knew,
my plan would never pull through
because whenever you came into view,
I would always have a nervous breakthrough
and stand as if I was a statue

You thought you were smart,
you broke my heart
I couldn’t put my heart back together since the pieces were too far apart
You did your part,
like a piece of art
and left me all the way at the start
