Rules

I broke my rules for you, 

You broke me for your rules. 

Irony laughed at me,

As I embraced truth of your falsehood. 

No one stays forever, you said

But I did stay. Still you left. 

Solitude is what I seek now, 

Destiny has had its laugh. 

Love was what I sought,  

You never thought of it though.  

Away & far from you I tried to be, 

But you always found a way for me to see. 

And then you played the winning shot, 

Broke me into pieces and salt over it was add on.  

Should have let me go when I tried, 

Commitment was a thing in which you never took pride. 

Blessed I am, for my tears get a count,  

For each one I shed, Karma will give a shout.  

Fear, baby, you should feel, 

For shattering someone else's dream. 

But guts, I must say, you have, 

For you still remain unaffected, laugh as I cry. 

Queen I thought I was for making you my King,  

I made you everything, I lost everything.  

Proud you must be for all the by-gones,  

You are the reason I would never ever love.  

As you move on, I am stuck at what if's and might be's, 

Look at me, eye to eye, and tell yourself 'pain? I don't see'. 

With every exhale,  I become a bit more hallow,  

Numb to feelings, stranger to happiness, to unknown I bow. 

Once an wonderful soul, now becomes a mere stone,  

Live with yourself knowing you made it so. 

Oh yes, you will, you do, laugh and smile with another, 

But you will crave me, the way I do you,  dear. 

When you realise your loss, you will wish to come back, 

By then I will be far from here and be forever gone.  

You still don't see it, do you? All this mess! 

You destroyed a person in your selfishness! 

Yes, my mistake, I broke all my rules for you!

And you broke me for your rules!
