Left alone

Love isn't a game that you once lose...and then can play again..

I tried to pull you back
but I was left with no strength
You left me just when I was about to
grab you from an arm's length

I was blinded by love
Oh! I didn't recognize
the fire burning in your vision
the flame wrapped up in your eyes

Your sweet tongue maliced me
a million times,each day
but you didn't listen
when I asked you to stay

And you didn't give me my love back
that I lent you
You pretended to feel the same way
And now you say you are through

You enslaved me with your charms
and painted a perfect picture of hope
But all my dreams are broken now
its a loss that I can't cope

I was flying high into the clouds
the wind tore my wings apart
I fell,turned to pieces,piece by piece i resurrected
But am too weak for another start.

I was reading this and it reminded me of one of my poems. I have been a victim of this kind of love to where you are taken high then they cut your wings and expect you to fly. This is really beautiful writing...

[Balkaran Sidhu]

Ya i know...you have conveyed all that through the 'fading april' and the 'leaking face'...they are two really gud pieces..

[G!o]

[Kaushik Mitra]

She picked you high, and then left, very sweetly penned in last two phrases! Indeed a good piece...

[Balkaran Sidhu]

She left.......but am still waiting...may be that wasn't a goodbye

[Marie]

Well, you could title it "Loss" or "Hopelessness". Because the last sentence, about being too weak for another start, gives a feeling of despair.

[Balkaran Sidhu]

Ya those are two good options....thanx
