Hurt Me
The world was dark and I felt glum
I think my life was inching towards it’s autumn
But you came into my life like a spring thaw
And all I could do was to stare in awe
My world changed and I started to see green
Where only thorns had existed, never a speck of grass had I seen
I knew you would reign in my heart like a queen
And I would be happy as I have never been
The days flew by as we found comfort in each other’s arms
We would talk about everything without any qualms
But slowly you started to withdraw and become distant
I think familiarity, in our case, also bred contempt
I tried to cling on to the broken fragments of our love
My heart flapped out of rhythm like a wounded dove
Where did your love for me go, where did it vanish
Just a smile from you is what I desired, it was my only wish
Everything in my life, I ensured, would revolve around you
But you have places to go to and people to meet, and I don’t get through
To the recesses of your heart where there isn’t even a smile for me
When I say I love you, all you do is look at me
I try to talk to you every day, and yes, you do talk
But soon you become quiet and in your shell you are back
I wait for you to come around, and say that you love me
Or just to prove that I mean something in your life, please hurt me
