The Anguished Heart Poem by Nafisa SB

Your graceful airs
Your winning smile
Which me
In earnest, did beguile
Your sparkling wit
Your harmless wiles
Your unique
Ruggedness virile
Threw me right head over heels
To be crushed by Love's fatal wheels

The way I thrilled
to your touch
revealed to me
your charm as such
your eyes
which bored two holes in me
while we sat
sipping tea
gave a look so devout
that all my love
came gushing out

the countless couplets
that you wrote
reciting them
then by rote
made me, on you
intensely dote
as on, our love
I did gloat
While you
Your passionate lines
did quote

why then, did you
one sunny day
without explaining
walk away?
If I had known
I'd bid you stay
Since your heart over me
Held complete sway
But you did not bother
To take the trouble
Your love, I think
Had burst like a bubble

I know you to be
A one-girl boy
Then why did you treat me
As a toy?
The more I think
Over your deed
The more do I feel
You acted on need
But what could it be
That tore us apart
When Love reigned supreme
Over head and heart

Yet, taking heart
I hope for the best
Leaving Fate and you
To do the rest
My search for you
A permanent quest
Will end, when you hold me
Against your breast
Come back, let us never
Evermore part
Heed the appeals
Of my anguished heart.
