My Story Poem by Ehsan Iqbal

Her eyes were like crystal pools
Worth more than expensive jewels
I lost my breath when I first saw them
My lungs'd get frozen so I had to thaw them

But I waved it off and cleared my thoughts
Yet in my heart the cupid shot
My heart began to beat again
I wasn't sure what to do then

I pondered over that unusual feeling
I could feel my heart healing
Reality for me became better than dreams
It was a feeling of mine, most extreme

Yet confused as ever I remained
To her my thoughts were chained
She became my only wish
No, I didn't want a kiss

Simply her face I wanted to watch
In her heart I wanted to lodge
Yet I had no real way to tell her
I'd cut my heart out and mail her

But I was enclosed love, a magic
I could not see anything tragic
To every string of hope I clung
Every false thought away I flung

And then it happened like a flower in winter
It took away from my story the only splinter
She finally got the message I delivered
Reading her response my spine shivered

Yet she was not ready to accept me, my love
Though my feelings she never wanted to shove
And then my hope came crashing
In my eyes you could see depression flashing

She was never going to become mine
My fate was never supposed to shine
She didn't want to break my heart
To the slow poison she wanted to resort

I chose the sudden death instead
Yes, the thought did make me dread
But it was my only choice
My heart had no other voice

So I let my feelings fade away
In reality my heart prayed away
But I just broke the final string
A new beginning I wanted to bring

And so came the Moment unexpected
A Moment I truly respected
She was being torn apart
I wanted to console her heart

But my life flashed before my eyes
I didn't fall for those lies
I reached my hand out to help her up
My feelings began again to stir up

Though I let them flow with ease
I told her to make them cease
Moment did not own my feelings
It was HER who brought those healings

So I lived my life with no real purpose
My heart had become some unreal circus
Though life was sliding down the slope
I was not going to reach for false hope

Yet miracles I trusted and in miracles I believed
As my heart, a miracle had yet to deceive
My heart moved from valleys to peaks
A large ocean split into small creeks

Falling for so long I didn't even realise
It felt like I was hypnotized
Just before I hit the ground, out she reached
And for the millionth time my heart she breached
