Why Did You Step Into My Life?

2-June-2020

In this poem I am talking about the people who come into your life uninvited and then they become such a strong part of you that when they leave one day you feel completely shattered. After they leave, you end up waiting for someone else to come and fill that void.

Laying down in a solemn night

Pondering over a restless thought

Why did you step into my life?

I still revisit the day we first met

I swooned over you blindly

Ignored all the red flags and went ahead

My heart skipped beats in your presence

But it stopped when you were away

Manipulation was your sole essence

I walked on eggshells around you

Did everything I could to see you smile

In retrospect, where did that lead me to?

I came in with wings for us to fly

You brought in a storm with your rage

And left my unheard feelings to die

I called it quits with a tantrum

Hoping to cleanse myself of you

But my heart was playing dumb

The blinds have sliced the sunlight

I am still lost in the mystery

Why did you step into my life?

Now I wait for the one

Who will free me of this torment

And treat me as her only one
