My poems and you...


I gave you a rose, 
you kept it close. 
In return you sent me 
the painful thorns. 

I gave you a smile, 
you wear it all the while. 
In return you sent me
 endless tears. 

Long back, 
you asked me why... 
you aren't a part 
of the poems I write. 

I didn't know then 
but I know now.
My mind couldn't, 
but my heart read your eyes somehow....

If I loved you ever, 
you wouldn't have let me survive.
