holding my breath

A Poem by mitali

its more like a song than a poem. though these are just lyrics. unfortunately, i have no talent to compose music, so i only wrote lyrics!

Holding My Breath

Every time I see you stride,

I never look at you with wishful eyes.

Like some other girls do.

We were together some time ago

But, my fault, I didn’t know

You preferred new heart to break

Once you were done with the previous.

But I never cried over you,

Like some other girls do.

Coz I know I walked in the hunter’s den,

Right into his blazing bonfire.

And watched my heart and soul

Burn in flames, slow and dire.

They warned me so all this long,

So I am no one to blame.

But sometimes I catch myself

Holding my breath,

When ever I hear your name.

There is she, smiling and laughing,

As she walks with you under your arms.

She looks happy, contented

Just like I appeared when I was yours.

But I can tell by the way you gawk

She’ll soon be collecting

Tiny pieces of her heart

That you’ll be graciously grating apart.

Coz I once walked in that hunter’s den,

Right into his blazing bonfire.

And watched my heart and soul

Burn in flames, slow and dire.

They warned me so all this long,

So I am no one to blame.

But sometimes I catch myself

Holding my breath,

When ever I hear his name.

But I never cried over you,

And I never will

Like those other girls do.

Coz I know I walked in the hunter’s den,

Right into your blazing bonfire.

And watched my heart and soul

Burn in flames, slow and dire.

They warned me so all this long,

So I am no one to blame.

But sometimes I catch myself

Holding my breath,

When ever I hear your name.
