Everyone Says

Everyone says, my love was true,

But, love from my heart, away you threw!

Everyone says, in love, I am very unlucky,

Love in my heart, was like a wicket, sticky.

Everyone says, I deserve happiness more,

But love made my joy, a complete sore.

Everyone says, I should come out of the dark,

Now, I know not, in whose heart, my love, I should park!

Everyone says, I’ll have happy days ahead,

But I know not, what happiness means for a man walking dead!

Everyone says, I’ll find true love one day,

For true love, such a heavy price, do I have to pay?

Everyone says, the pains of love are sweeter than its pleasures!

I thank god, as I got such pains without measure! 

Mending The Rending Heart

Will some damsel mend my broken heart?

From this world, before I depart!

Will she alleviate my heartburns?

And dish me out the love, for which my heart yearns.

Will I ever get what I desire?

Or, will things turn into a quagmire?

Can my love be resuscitated again?

Which once, by love, was slain!

My true feelings, will she ever truly empathize?

I had ‘fallen’ in love, but now, will I rise?

Love had buried me in a tomb,

But, I know not, I lay there for whom?

Before love spells my complete doom,

Will I ever experience it in my heart, boom? 

A person like you, where else can I find?

Thinking of you, all worries, I push behind,

Only your memories, in my heart, rewind.

But, my love for you, you chose to rescind,

Though I wasn’t cruel, you were unkind.

For loving you, you imposed on me, a lifelong punishment,

I gladly accepted it, though innocent.

To me, your happiness is paramount,

I proved, upon me, you can always count.

May God bless you with all His might,

A life will blossom, as another will blight.

For your happiness, not only my life I would sacrifice,

But go much beyond, if even that wouldn’t suffice!
