Broken Poem by Tamanna Sharma

When I couldn't almost stop crying
When I couldn't always stop being in pain
When I couldn't always be free
When I wanted to shout aloud, but you stopped me
I broke you


I always thought I would be the best you could get
I always thought I would be your angel
I always thought I would be your happiness
But I didn't do any of it
I broke you


When I wanted to see you
When I wanted to hear my name
When I wanted to be assured
But, I couldn't be the one you had wanted
I broke you


You always healed my broken wings
You always left what you wanted
You always chased my dreams
And you did all of it
I broke you


When I couldn't do anything for you
When I couldn't be the one you had desired for
When I couldn't be what you had expected
When I wanted do everything for you, but I didn't
I broke you


I was never alone
But I always felt left out
You tried to be there for me
But I pushed you away
I broke you


When I wanted be your angel
When I wanted to be perfect
When I wanted to give you what you had always wanted
When I couldn't be the best
I broke you


I wanted to be with you
I wanted to never hurt you
I wanted to be sorry but never said anything
I thought you would understand
I broke you


I have flown away,
I want to be perfect
I want to be the best
I wish to never be alone
But, I became what you had never wished me to become.


Wishes don't always come true
And this time, they didn't
I became what you kept me away from

I walk my path alone
I am broken.
