Almost

The love

I built on

the house of cards

how was it to sustain the winds?

We were almost there

And crash it came

tumbling down.

Each promise

broken to pieces,

every dream

torn apart,

All hopes

ripped away,

every ounce of trust

pounded to dust

which covers me now,

making me feel tinted.

I peel

the skin

layer by layer

only to find you

deeper & deeper

in me.

I prick

the skin

to ooze you

out but that

too doesn't help.

Your memories

clutches me,

I oil my

heart to slip

you out but

ironically, it's

me who tumbles

in love

with you all over again.

I give up.

Infact, I smile

thinking that when

I'd told you;

I love you with

every bits and pieces,

I'd never thought

that you'd take

it literally and

break me beyond

repairs.
