I thought I was incapable of romantic love
I thought I was good at controlling my emotions
But I realized I was wrong when I met you

You were very wrong for me
Our beliefs clashed
Our families would object

But that sparkle in your eyes
That passion and excitement in your words
I've never met someone so alive

The sad, empty me of that time
Craved for you, hated you
Because with you, I could feel

A series of unexpected coincidences ensued
We got together
Almost made me believe in destiny

It was so good for a short while
I never knew how comforting touch can be
For once, I don't feel alone

But we were in a bad place
I hated myself
You hated yourself

I tried to make you love yourself
You tried to make me love myself
We both failed

It's been a year since we parted
I swear I'm over you
but please tell me why

Every new person I was slightly interested in
I wished they were brighter, cheekier, more honest
More like you

I thought I would find another if I look
I thought things would fall into place as easily as it was with you
But now I fear you'll be the only one

Still, I am changing for the better
There is no going back to you
I won't let you be the only one

When I said that I was moving on, I didn’t really mean it.
I wasn’t ready to tell people
My parents
My friends
That we were over.

I don't know why you said you didn’t love me,
Because I hadn’t done anything wrong.
I think in the end, you were just bored
And I was over it,
Tired of being sorry for things I wasn’t actually sorry for.
Three months of on again off again *******.

And yet, when you saw me with him,
You weren’t ready to move on.
You wanted me back. Or love back.

And I think that shows,
That neither of us were moving on.

I’m not moving on, after all.
And that might be my biggest mistake yet.
i'm not moving on after all.

There was something about him
Every time my eyes closed
He was there with his goofy smile.

There was something about him
That drew me towards him
Like a child to sweets.

There was something about him
That made me hear his voice
And see his face each day.

And because
There was something about him
I could never forget him.

Never...
This is kinda my first poetry and it is written via experience...I hope yall like it....

I begged and pleaded him to stay,
I said I'd protect him come what may,
I apologised for the smallest things that day,
But he looked at me and said "Go Away".

I cried for a long day,
And all through the nights, all I did was pray,
All I need was that ray,
Which would make me close this wound one day.

I fixed my way,
And stitched my wound that day,
Because I was not his princess, I was my own queen to slay.

And even tomorrow if he comes in my way,
And asks me to stay,
I would remember my tears of that day,
And say,
"Darling, no way."
Moving on is closing a door which leads no where. It's stitching wounds. It's forgetting a past to a glorious future.
Toxic people remain toxic. Set them free.
You don't need him. You need yourself.
Here's to a better future.


Hmu if you're going through something similar! =)
Love, harshi

My yellow my yellow
So calm and mellow
Like the sunflowers in the meadow

My yellow my yellow
So safe and warm
My haven is my yellow, it keeps me from harm

My yellow my yellow
They took away my yellow
I feel bruised and broken, where is my yellow?

My yellow my yellow
Where is my yellow?
I'll bring back my own yellow soon

A cicada to a tree
A flower in the earth;
Ties in life
Timing way before man

Trickling little stream
-Into a lake
Droplets to the ground
Set a cycle going again

Saguaros in the sand
A woodpecker flying about
Sharing nutrients together
Rarely ever found

Season change as it may
Everything will come and go
First the cicada in a tree
And the streams constant flow

Crystals take shape in time
Individual beauty they each hold-
But a jeweler is always picky
The deal is one for one

The birds always flee
Right where the grass is greenest-
Gone is the icy past
Although the memory never forgotten
Someone I've known for a long time is about to move away, so I wrote this poem for her. I hate having sad goodbyes, so I hope this reminder will be worthwhile.
