What hurts the most...A Poem by Bhavya Kaushikinspired by the song "What hurts the most"
WHAT HURTS THE MOST……? Waking up and getting ready for the day, Living everyday but being trapped in this old hutch. Yes, I can…I can live my life all this way, As… that does not bother me much… I'm not a felon or committed any serious crime, Then why am I paying such a great cost. Of only loving you even more than my life, But that is not what hurts the most…. To walk alone without any destination in this rains, To lonely cry these tears and letting them to meet the sea. To have an empty heart but with so much pain, But now none of them hurts me… Whenever I meet our old friends, I force a smile, As I have no answer for their questions about us. Whenever I see your photograph, a tear rolls out of my eyes, But that does not bother me so much… Often when I close my eyes, I hear your voice, Saying that "I'm still here by your side…" I have no other choice than to live with this void, But now I'm fine as for that I have already cried. Whenever they ask me – Then… " What hurts the most…? " All I could say is …. …. What hurts the most was being so close Having so much to say but watching you walking away And pretending all the way that everything is just ok To wait for you every night and every other day Hallucinating myself that one day you would be back again Unselfishly still loving you and every pain which you gave Recollecting the words which I kept in my heart but never said Those words which I left unspoken for always Still I'm living but with every second I have this regret. That the last words which you said was – "I love you, but…" How you made me feel like... "What more could I do?" Else I have no other complain from you… Masochistically I'm getting it very well with this ache, Out of which I know I can't come back. Superfluity of this pain now began to take its toll, The thing which hurts the most… was being so close…
.....
What hurts the most…was being so close…. ….
