Broken Poem by Sneha Murali

Foolhardy promises aren't kept to part
on one knows the pain when it breaks the heart
when you believe something you know is not true
it aches even more when you want to believe it too

You fooled me once, shame on you! !
second time fooled, shame on me..! !
why did i ever have to listen to you
i believed your words to be true..

Over the sink, coughing and crying
thinking about all the things, all those lying
pinching myself to wake up, hoping it's a dream
but the pain reminds me i'm still in reality

Sleepless nights spent cursing and swearing
asking god if he's enjoying
watching me squirm around in pain
sufferings are never-ending, everything's in vain

The feeling you get when every cell in your body
is screaming and shouting and wailing for you to believe
but it's hard when the truth is right in front of you
i knew all of this was too good to be true

God! ! ...save me from this hell
and take me to a place good and well
teach me to trust again, to love again too
to face the ordeals, teach me what to do
