ACHES [Wattys Winner 2015]

Walking all over my heart

I walk to the alley

Where we walked everyday

When your life revolved around just me.

Today you kissed my cheek and ran away

Saying you are meeting your friends

But there is an unsettling nerve

Which appears to be malfunctioning in me.

Feeling something wrong in the kiss,

The way you hugged me goodbye,

The way you did it feel empty of compassion,

Emotionless, apathetic,

Like you didn't care about the proximity,

And the fire which breathed between us.

I reach the alley

And sudden cold engulfs me.

Pain runs across shrieking like a gulp of wind,

Howling with agony into my blood stream.

As if the nerve pulsating with hesitation

Has gone naked,

Extricating the unsettled thoughts,

Into known melancholy.

You are standing in the alley,

Feeling your lips on some other girl,

Some girl who is not me.

How would you ever take this back?

I gave you my world,

No! I made you my world.

You were everything, no! are my everything

My only and one.

My head spins as my faith in you is spinning away,

My legs shake as my trust and selfless love shakes off.

I had trusted you, the only one,

And this is the way you paid off.

By confuting all your intentions with me,

By walking all over my heart.

My heart thumping breaks bit by bit,

As I see you more livened by her.

Too riveted by the kiss,

To hear the breaking of my heart.

Like you just walked all over it

And that too unknowingly.

Cause , you don't yet see my heart,

Shattering and crumbling

Living its last breaths of love,

Beating its last beats of trust,

Crumbled beneath your feet.
