Broken Poem by Wardah Arshad

I laid my eyes upon him,
the last time he looked away,
I knew I had fallen,
but could not turn away.

The trust I gave him,
the love I felt,
It all melted so soon,
with a sudden thrust it fell.

I was blind to knowledge,
blind to what I had become,
but still I had fallen,
from a cliff above.

I felt like glass as I hit the ground,
shattered and in pieces I lay,
yet he did not turn around,
nor had a glimpse my way.

I believed his lies all this time,
I let my stupidity control me,
if only I turned away when he first became mine,
I wouldn't nw be shattered to pieces,
completely lost of place and time.

Tears fell down my cheeks,
as I recalled the memories he gave,
the letters and roses I still keep,
tnd the ring on which he vowed to give me his name.

I don't know why I still linger in the dark,
and cry as I hear his name,
I don't know why I have fallen apart,
and broken to pieces where I lay.

I pray to god to forgive me,
for the wrong I did to deserve,
this heavy burden on my broken heart,
which it slowly burns.

My hands are empty,
and my mind clouded,
I refuse to come to reality,
refuse to heed the lesson I learned,
I'm shattered and broken,
no longer As strong,
I fell weak for him and let him build me,
and make me realise that I don't belong.

He made my life light up,
never let a tear in my eye,
tell me now why he turned away,
and made me too weak to even cry.

He said he would make me his,
forever and everyday,
he said not a single day he'd make me break,
and become the person I was afraid to be.

But he broke his vow and turned away,
shattered me to pieces where I lay,
tell me why he did this to me?
Why he made me the person I was afraid to be?
And simply walked away...
