Done with loving...

Penned sometime ago ... shared today

"I'm done with loving 

done with giving 

without receiving 

When it's gone 

nothing else matters 

Love is a game

it breaks...it shatters 

 a game of lies 

of selfish desire 

a path of roses 

to a raging fire 

I could learn 

to play too 

take you for a ride 

I could lose it too 

this thing called pride 

My lesson I've learnt 

my broken heart nursed 

Yet I won't wish 

upon you a life cursed 

There in the depths 

of all my misery 

you've occupied 

a part of me 

Let me be... set me free... 

No more pain 

for your selfish gain 

It isn't you, is it? 

It's I holding on 

It's I not letting go 

Its my weakness 

and i'm letting it show 

I'm done with loving 

done with giving 

without receiving"

“If one does not understand a person, one tends to regard him as a fool.”

I pick up subtle hints...
I'm not a fool you see...

I can only be oblivious when
I'm not aware...
If you choose to percieve it
as I don't care...

That's not my problem is it?

I don't have ESP...
I can't sit here and
sense you're not okay
I can't sit here
and know it all...no way!

Lack of communication
is the reason why...
When I reached out asking why...
I got no reply...

Did you intend for me
to hear it from others?
To be the last one to know?
Fine so be it...
But don't come back and
throw subtle hints...

I don't know what hurts more...
The fact that you never told me why?
Or
The fact that you expected me to know why?
Times like these I don't even know
why I try..
waste my emotions...
why do I cry?

Tears come easy...
but not my ability
to deal with
emotions so
crazy...

I'm not a fool?
I think I am...

You make me believe ... I am...

Obsession

Ok this one I'm not too sure about. But I penned it down all the same and so it finds a place in "Creative Corner". Love can be liberating, exhilarating...love can be otherwise too. Where does one go when love becomes an obsession. No space to grow or maybe outgrow it?

I never denied
That I cried.
I shed my tears
Lived with my fears

Your love’s an obsession
And it hurts…

I thought you understood
I gave it all I could

We’ve changed
You and I
Face it
You won’t even try

I know what
You’re thinking
But it isn’t like that
It’s not just you
I’m hurting too…

One of us had to walk away
It had to be me…
I took the blame

But this pain you’re feeling
It isn’t any different
I feel the same…

We’ve changed
You and I
Face it
You won’t even try

Your love’s an obsession
And it hurts…
