Days like this

An attempt at writing a small poem on one of those quiet evenings :) Here it goes :


All I wanted was to feel nothing
People said it will be amazing !
I wanted to continue feeling nothing. .
But slowly I started to feel everything. .
My heart was fluttering
I asked it to stay quiet
In the hope that it would actually listen

And then one day .. when he was in pain
I was feeling his pain. . As if it was mine. .
I wanted it all to go away. . His pain and mine

People said it will be amazing. . 
But all I could feel was pain
I was feeling it all. .
May be this was one kind of love too. . They said
And then one fine day . .  he walked away.. 
Taking what was not his to take !
And then they said he was no good for me..
It’s good that we parted ways
Funny we did not say good byes

Then they said he was no good for me
The fluttering was gone but the pain remained
And my mind kept going back to those little moments 
And my heart was back to feeling nothing 
Strangely it went quiet now. .
I kept asking it to speak to me. .
It would again not listen to me. .

In days like this and that
In evenings  like these and those

My heart is lost in the wilderness of it all. . Trying to find itself ..
