Why? Why? Till when?
Is there even any end?
Of heartbreak, of deception,
Of the starkness of rejection?
Despite past experiences,
It is but humane to hope —
A candle lit and broken
Starts with shaky belief,
But with time & fake promises
The moment one starts relying
Is when they pull the rope…
Once again crestfallen, tasting betrayal
The heart & soul pledges
Never to believe again
As it is not the heartbreak
But the memories of good which break them the most.
Realizing once again
The flaw of nature to instil hope
Making pretentious promises to oneself
To distance itself from the hypocrite world.
Let’s see how far it goes
Without again losing hope…
