The Untold Tale Of A Broken Heart Poem by Tarakesh Govardhan

The Untold Tale Of A Broken Heart



the stars above are witness to our love
muted expression bears sight
I talk and talk expecting difference
yet nothing comes
I hold you in my heart
yet yours is empty
I hope to fill it with love
my love
yet it drains constantly
like a never ending pit of emptiness
I pour my heart and soul
hoping to fill it
alas, my efforts are in vain

my heart is empty
like my efforts now
hope you are happy
yet I have none
happiness eludes me
like the morning sleep
once gone, finding difficult to get back
my heart is empty
and can never be whole again

you fill my dreams
my thoughts
and my breath
you take it away when I see you
you hold it when you move
you are perfection incarnate
in my eyes
my stupid eyes
and my brain
my useless brain

I know it can never be
I know your heart is for another
yet I yearn for your attention
I yearn for love
I can't seem to differentiate
emotions
they seem foreign
out of place
yet when you are in my thoughts
they align
momentarily
everything seems right
I am at peace
yet I am confused

confusion leads to madness
pain in my heart
feelings are foreign to me
that I know
yet you stir them
I question why
but no answer
a facade of lies built upon one another
a return to normality


I would build you a shrine of roses
a gift
I would wait on you
hand and foot
my patience unwavering
I would listen to you always
my ears open
for you are my world
I will be with you always
like a faithful dog
an eternal companion
by your side
for yours is the only one I will think of
yours is the only one I will need


emotionally stunted, I suffer
for when I don't express
what I should express
I am different
a creep in all but picture to you
an outcast,
spat upon and cursed
till my will crumbles
till my mask takes its place
upon my brows

you do not know me
therefore you judge
and therein is your mistake
that kills me bit by bit
my mask taking place
slowly
as I die inside
slowly
the person you see
is becoming true
and who I truly am
will never be known
and will die unnoticed

my silence is dear
for you will never hear me speak to you
my voice dead
broken recordings played through my mask
distorted and bent
my lifeless eyes will never be seen
for I have lost you
and thereby, hope
