A Mirage

Heartbroken, baffled

Swollen eyes, unsettled mind

Constant thoughts, butchering my heart

Was I wrong, was I unkind

Or was it too much to ask

Anger lead to pain

All the silly justifications replayed

Maybe I was the wrong one

I try harder to make believe

Its too difficult to confess

All those red flags become brighter by the minute

While I am still trying to dim out all those lights

How long do I justify

My rights were sovereign to me

But I even apologized

Maybe that’s why it felt fake

Too scared to have hurt the person once too precious

Was I too indulged in my pain

And I see them again

Ignore my beliefs once again

Faked laughs and uncomfortable glances

Still the feeling of being wronged lingers

It hurts being put back in your place

Accepting that it was all a delusion

When it felt all too real

All too pious to be stained

    Oh, Aditi… this is so beautifully written, but it’s so painful to read…
