Over the years, you nourished me with bleak hopes
Caressed me with sweet lies
Held me with deception, and called it love
But when those thick dark walls started to get closer to me and I could see them better, I felt suffocated by them, yet you held me still with those reasons so false
And I believed all of you, for that is how badly I wanted to belong
I got so accustomed to all of those things
When we parted ways
And love touched me in form of words from acquaintances
I held its throat and suffocated it to death,
And smiled,
Relieved of an unfamiliar touch;
And I looked around for that familiar touch, again
Only to realise
That has faded away too!
My whole world collapsed
And devastated as I was,
Cried
And cried..

And died
