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
