The Heart

I gave you my heart

My inexpensive watch kept tick-tocking like my psyche that throb for you,

You said I was too shabby and impecunious to match your genre,

To maintain your status, you make friends with only a selected few.

 

I gave you my heart

Begging you for the time to make myself susceptible to fit your gentry,

You said it was elusive, you have chosen the one who worth a million,

A life, where I will have no entry.

 

I gave you my heart

Told, I will love you with all that I have, for you I will get the moon,

You said, with a grimace, keep dreaming in your broken shanty,

That time is not going to come any soon.

 

I gave you my heart

You gave yours to the man who will take you high,

A newlywed, in your expensive attire, you hold his hands and set for a journey chasing your dreams,

I stood behind, weeping, hiding my tears in the rain as your car passed by.

 

It’s been six years

I have not gained the courage to touch your sky,

But managed to make my own den,

Where I get my tranquility as the day passes by.

 

You came back to your father’s house leaving your wealth and pride

You called me to the corner of the road where I used to stand by,

You told me you left the life that was like a cage,

Hold tight your ego and left the wealth and marriage,

I looked at you in astound eye

You look so devastated,

A solitary soul who lost it all that was money-oriented.

 

You gave me your heart

You gripped my hand and cried in dismay,

You said, “I know now your love was like a fresh morning shower,

I am tired of chasing the mirage, now want to settle down,

Don’t leave my hand, I need you every hour.”

 

I gave her my heart

I gasped, as I said,

Whose red vermillion and dark kohled eyes make my heart dance inside my chest,

She lives for me, and happy with whatever I could give

I have found my true love with her in my small hut that we call our nest.
