In many ways I was broken,
No matter what, never was shaken,
All my happiness is now taken,
My emotions ran behind you, leaving forsaken…

My sorrows, an incident well-orchestrated,
My happiness was buried deep and now it has departed
From my life, which was very well decorated,
You arrived, now into pieces it’s shattered…

My world is dark and quiet with your absence,
Everything around me looks empty, all at once,
However far, no matter the distance,
On this earth, I will cherish your existence…

My heart wants to pour love as a shower,
So your memories will bloom like a flower,
My emotions within runs like a wild river,
My love for you is forever…

In your departure, my pain unfurls,
A heartbreak, how my tale swirls.
Painted with sadness on the love I laid,
A farewell in colors, you portrayed.

You painted me in color of grey and blue,
For I am a monster, but not entirely true.
The pain of being cast as the villain,
In a story that left my soul chillin'.

Yet deeper lies another pain,
Born from society's judgments, plain.
Various unkind opinions born,
Judging me of things I have not done.

But in this pain, a new beginning takes root,
Strength rising from all the dispute.
For in your leaving, a chance to reclaim,
The colors of self, to self-love, I proclaim.

Let pain be a temporary art,
A chapter of pain, not the whole book of heart.
May healing wash away all conflicts & strife,
And reveal with a newfound life.

All my life I was living like a warrior,
You made me realise how my nights could be scarier.
Seems like, in your thoughts I will be lost,
As the days with you are not going past.

Every time I cry for you, my tears taste sweeter,
But your feelings toward me were always bitter.
I wanted to show you heaven on earth,
Yet you pushed me to hell which questions my worth.

All that you did has damaged my soul,
None who can hear my haul.
A journey together I expected,
But you portrayed a colourful hatred.

Your thoughts are immortal and entwined,
That I won’t be able to purify my mind.
Your presence filled in the air I breathe,
A haunting grace, that doesn’t give sooth.

An ordinary human, in the crowd you stand,
Yet, in my eyes, you found a special blend.
Small, you were to the world outside,
Yet, in my heart, you became my pride.

Someone usual, in the ordinary sea,
But to me, you shone uniquely.
I painted you with colours of beauty,
Yet you treated me with cruelty.

In this vast planet, among numerous faces,
I made you my world, in multiple spaces.
You were the center of my universe,
In a world where dreams and reality shatters.

Yet at a right time, you revealed the truth,
That I am just a whisper on this earth.
For all the importance I gave,
Yet in your eyes, I remain a short wave.

The river of my love has drained,
The flower of my heart has withered,
The colours of my emotions has faded
The shine in my life has completely evaded…

You have put me in a situation,
Which caused a lot of commotion,
A place that I cannot stay nor return,
Fallen into the depths, now that I mourn…

Even the blessing of gods seems less,
Compared to your love which I will miss.
My tears quenches the thirst of my heart,
Which is holding me, so I don't fall apart…

You are my precious,
A rare gem in this land,
Your brilliance shines,
Beyond the reach of my hands.

You are my melody, sweet,
A haunting tune I can't forget.
Your thoughts remain as a plight,
In every corner of my regret.

You are my dream in trances,
A vision I chase in the night,
Your memory forever dances,
In the shine of my eyesight.

You are my comfort in distress,
A shelter in life's stormy sea,
As your gentle whispers,
Guide me to where I want to be.

A treasure beyond compare,
Forever I will cherish,
In the depths of my love and care,
You are my precious.

Happiness is a perception,
It is connected to human emotion,
Some find it in gods devotion,
On social media many find it in attention.

One can find in a pet dog,
And one can find it in their brag.
Few find in accumulating wealth,
And there are people who get it in good health.
Happiness is a state of mind,
Is the current trend.
For some it is in earning,
And for some in spending.

For many it is in human connection,
None ever achieves by deception.
Some find in betrayal,
And some find it in being loyal.

Happiness is found in a lover's touch,
In the moments that mean so much.
It's in laughter shared with friends,
In the joy that never ends.

Some find it in the morning sun,
Or when a long day is finally done.
It's in the beauty of a blooming flower,
Or in the quiet of a peaceful hour.

Happiness can be short and rare,
Yet it's something for which we all care.
In the simplest of things it can reside,
In the heart's pleasure it does abide.

So look not in far-off lands,
Nor in things held in greedy hands.
For happiness, though difficult to find it seems,
Is often found in our hopes and dreams.
