Heartbreaks Poem by Ruta Mohapatra

Heartbreaks

Rating: 5.0


The first one was long and deep
Like a strong earthquake
The waves reaching each cell
Each nook and corner
Of her mind and body
It disabled her for many days

But then came the slow recovery
A few aftershocks settled the broken pieces
Dust and grass covered the wounds
A carpet of dew cooled her mind
The dew of care and concern
Bestowed by her near and dear

There have been some more
After that first heartbreak
But one cannot break
Something already broken
Well, one can, but then
The effect will never be the same again

A grown up can never be a child again
