THE WOMAN YOU BROKE

She loved you, trust me when I tell you she did, You were everywhere, in her prayers and in her every wish. You were everything for her until you decided to break her. She was shattered, but even with all the pieces you broke her into, she loved you with all her strength. She wasn't perfect, part of her was hidden in her prayers and part of her radiated on her smile. She waited for you to realize your mistake, but every day she woke up to find you gone, part of her faded.

She cried so many nights, she wept even in crowds. Your smile haunted her when she tried to live without you. You were everywhere, in all sad songs and all the long winter nights. The woman you broke is someone you'd ache for years but never get her back because her heart isn't something you'd own after shattering it without regret. She left because she was tired of shattering every time she looked at you. She was tired of justifying your actions.

She tried to hold on, she tried to forgive your mistakes and every time she pardoned you, you stabbed her heart mercilessly. She gave excuses when you wronged her. You broke her even after she tamed your raging storms and accepted all your flaws. One day you'll feel her void. You'll yearn for her voice, you'll crave for her touch and in every stranger you shall meet, you'll look for her eyes but sadly, you will never even have a glimpse of her face.

And when they ask you about her, tell them the truth, tell them that you were weak, weaker to keep a woman who loved you madly, endured wholeheartedly forgave you every time you ruined her. And when you start missing her, remember all the times you made her cry, remember all the wishes she wasted for you, remember all the prayers she made for you and by then you'll realize that you lost your share of happiness in her and now she's gone for good.
