not even once
in my life, did
the idea of my
whole world
collapsing under
my feet cross
my mind.
for I didn't know
that there'll be
a time when
the open
mouthed kisses
that used to
leave a trail
of love signs
on my body,
will send
shivers up
my spine.
or that the
touch of
your hand, that
always
warmed me at
night, will
burn my flesh
and wipe off
every outline
on my skin .
I never knew
,that there'll
be a day when
those eyes,
that I loved to
drown in, will
chase away
my words,
and make the
letters that roll
off my tongue
die at the tip
of my lips,
before I
could even
hear them.
well, I guess
my heart was
blinded by
the love it
carries for
you to notice
that I was
nothing but
a feather
that's been
blown by
your winds
way too many
times.
my mind was
busy floating
on the ocean
of your blarney
to realise that
I was just that
puppet, the
one that your
fingers loved
to pull at its
threads.
you said that
I was your
star, but dear
stars aren't
supposed to
be torn off the
skies they
shine against,
and thrown
after their
glow was
burnt out.
you wanted
my eyes to
drink you
up the way
they did
before, so
on the clouds
you built me
a castle made
up of lies, but
soon it started
to rain and
that beautiful
castle crumbled
down along
with the pieces
of fake
memories we've
made together.
