"Love is blind",
"You can't feel pain when you love someone" they said,
Was it all a lie because I gave my all while I received none.

Each passing day, I yearned for him,
Hoping that one day, he'd find me enough.
The vows we took on the altar,
Were mere words that ran from his mouth.

When he touched me, it was my body and not my heart,
I was only a play doll to him,
And not someone whom he had hoped for.

Foolish me, I repeat my mistakes,
Six years later, I still feel the same.
When he moved on with a new girl near his pocket,
I stood there watching him giving all that I ever wanted.

Even after such a sight,
A teardrop streams when I think of him.
I should be ashamed for how much I gave,
A part of me, though, cherishes all of it.

Selfish me, I count his days,
I hope they were right when they said
"Love truly doesn't fade away".
