Mind And Heart Poem by Aparna Chatterjee

When I told him
How much I loved him
With all my heart…
He replied to me
Sarcastically…
There's nothing
Called the Heart.
It's all to do with the
Mind.

I felt heart-broken
With his curt reply.

Nevertheless,
Just to test his
Words…
I thorned his mind
With my prickly
Words, to see if his
Heart grieves…

Bingo! It did.
My offensive
Words caused
Him a lot of hurt.
He cried with a
Heavy heart and
Died of a heartache.
