The Unsuspecting and Unconscious Murderer

I never saw it coming

I never dreamt it would be like so

The day was like no other

Boring, mundane and so

But then you suddenly came

And barged through the metal doors of

My caged but fragile heart, being, and soul

I was taken aback and overwhelmed by it all

 

Your wit, intellect and exuding aura

Dragged me further in

Every moment with you was special

It made me feel ecstatic, cheerful, and exulting within.

 

I thought you were the one

The one who would finally see through me

See through this facade

That I would always put on replay

 

Days and nights you occupied my dreams

I thought I was falling for you

And I thought you the same way too

But then I realized

How can a person like you

Ever like someone like me?

By that time I was heartbroken

By a simple “happy crush”

 

I felt so foolish

I felt so naïve

I drowned myself in sorrow and tears

It killed me every time to know

That you were always there

But you never seemed to talk to me

Even if I was dying to talk to you

I know there is someone else

Inside that heart of yours

And that pained me even more

 

All that I could say to myself was

"You're not missing out on him.

For all you know, he's the one missing out on you".

But deep down I knew,

That wasn't true

 

And the worse part of it all –

This whole act the tore me apart

This entire drama that kills me every time  inside

Was all unconsciously done

And for that, I say “bravo”

You Unsuspecting and Unconscious Murderer
