Debris Of The Heart( A collection of Poems)

27.Poetry followed after

You wanted the world to cry for you.
I wanted the world to cry because of me,
And the thin line separating our wantings,
Was where we fell in love.

I spoke to you when you slept,
And I woke up to your voice.
And the hours in between,
Was when we fell in love.

I heard you crying,
Even before you shed a tear.
And you heard me screaming
Way before I opened my mouth.

And these silences in between.
These pauses in our heartbeats,
Were the silences before the storm.

And
poetry
followed
after.
