Mending a broken heart

Trust when it's broken
Is the hardest to mend
The heart is hardened
And the mind numbed
Dulled with pain
Days stretch on to infinity
And the nights, well, are the hardest 
Your being is enveloped 
In a murky web
Of lies
Betrayal
Sadness
Pain
Tears don't fall anymore
Your very heart is torn asunder
Little things that brought you joy
Offer no relief
You are one among the walking dead
Much to everyone's disbelief
You learn the wrong lessons
That trusting is bad
When all it takes 
Is someone to rekindle the spark
That once ignited your soul
And made it shine
And then you're whole again
Not because you needed another to complete you
But you learned how to be complete 
Within the boundaries 
Of your body and soul

#Pinthecreep, honey!

A girl walks down a busy street And is leered at by some creep A catcall, a rude remark, a whistle, Making her in her discomfort, bristle Girls are often mocked and taunted And they find it hard to carry on, undaunted Let’s put an end to this #streetharassment The next time a jerk tries to act funny #pinthecreep, honey!

Writing Poetry

Writing does calm me I tend to get so emotional My heart is like glass It breaks if there's a high decibel Inside my head or in the vicinity My hate for the human race Does abate No thanks to any 'human' Instead to the word, written It's like a blessing from a sentient being That falls upon my ears From deep within

Glasses tinted blue

They always talk about rose-tinted glasses That place the blame squarely on 'you' What people underestimate Are the blue-tinted ones Placed by someone else on you That obscure your view of the world And make sadness true for you I tweeted this poem to @ RealisticPoetry  in response to a picture prompt.
