Sweet Stranger Poem by Israh Sadan

Heart broken.
Finding it hard to comprehend that I’m heart broken
Because I always thought I had no heart.
Having always been a cold, controlled bitch
To have my heart, that I didn’t know I had, shattered
So suddenly by someone I just met
Is shocking
I’m shaken.
From the moment we met
He had my body vibrating for his touch
Instantly I loved him so much
As if all my life my soul had searched for him without knowing it.


Sick
Is how I feel
Now that I know
I had been wrong
Wrong to be happy
Wrong to have hoped
Wrong to have let my heart swell with love for a stranger.


Did I want love so badly that I dreamt it all up?
Did I need loved so badly that I blindly fell for a fool.
No, I was the fool.


My stomach burns with embarrassment
My heart aches with disappointment
My eyes sting from tears I may not cry.


So I found that I have a heart after all.
I found it, broken.
