< Hurt ≫ Poem by Aparna Chatterjee

His hurt
I saw
In his
Eyes...

A tale of
Treachery,
Deceit and
Lies...

Yet he told me
He still loved
The girl

Could never
Sever his ties
And say his
Final goodbyes

The girl
Couldn't
Hear his
Heart's
Cries…

Yet he simply
Couldn't bother,
As he just couldn't
Live without her…

Come what may,
He pledged to be
With her…

You may say
A decision -
Not so wise.
Only fools
Fall in love

Yet, as time flies…
He's living with the hope
That she'll love him back,
And be his before he dies.
