Shattered Love

a poem by Charishma Jaikishin Ramchandani

Life played its cruelest trick on me,
When you came into my life and stung me like a bee…
You were so hauntingly sweet,
Little did I know that in reality you were a cheat!

You led me through the gleaming gates of gold and fire,
To a heaven of love, faith and desire…
I believed your every tiniest word,
There was nobody but you whom I heard!

I thought your love from me would never part,
When every word of yours touched my heart…
I thought our love was so very deep,
But into this, you never did peep!

Sweet thoughts in me you would inspire,
But now you’ve burnt me even more than fire!
