Am Picture Imperfect Poem by dhana laxmi

Am Picture Imperfect



I gave you something of mine
you went and lost it.
Now am left with broken pieces
no matter how much i try
they dont fit in.
Its a picture imperfect...
My heart has, become
a picture imperfect

Look at it, falling slowly
everything is going, fading
away; drops of my tears
turning the colours to grey.
My eyes are asking me - why?
Why did i fall for you?
Why didnt i say -
'no stealing out here'?
But no, look at my heart
it's a picture imperfect now.

I never knew anything but laughter,
I dont if I should thank you
for you showed me the
other side of life -
filled with heart aches,
sorrow face and dripping lashes.
You made me what i am now
A picture imperfect.

I believed you were my
ultimate fantasy, come true
but now, .. my stars are falling,
falling out of sky; but
nobody can see-
'Cos, its my pain and
I cant wish it gone

who am i trying to kid?
i am lost like a twig
thats goes swirling down the drain.
the first ray of dawn not yet in,
its the darkest hour of the day..
its like i got a crash course
on life and now its over,
the board is clean
and the room dark.

I want to forget but
can only remember.
forever love is only a dream,
all it leaves is empty rooms
and broken song...
I still hold on to the paper
you wrote on
No, you are not gone
you are still there, deep in my heart
and I dont know how to let go.
