An unhappy first love

 

In a blink of an eye,

You stole my heart.

Like a gust of wind 

You took my breath.

I chased after you

To get it back.

I ran and ran and fell.

And scraped my knees falling for you.

You have my heart and my breath,

And as selfish as you were,

You took my kiss and whole of me

Tugging the delicate threads of my heartstrings

In your bed.

You were so bright like a sun

And my star on deep dark nights.

Sometimes I used to wonder,

Whether you were an artist

'cause you were so good drawing me in.

We should've been happy together,

But no, you were so selfish

You wanted more and more from me.

In an abandoned dark alley

You took my eyes and my lips.

You clasped my hands

As if they were just for you.

But then that happened.

The cruel play of fate,

Cutting the red threads

Under the bright street lights .

So cold were the once warm you,

Your lovely face changed from white to grey.

And, you still have my heart,

Taken with you in land of unknown.

What will I do now?

What should I do?

Chilly raindrops wantonly splattered on my face,

Warm teardrops mixed together with the frigid rain.
