A Broken Sonnet

Just wanted to say, “Hey” and “I hope you’re fine”.
When I bowed to your heart, you shattered mine.
With your new dawn, happiness will shine,
I’ll be drinking tears in glasses of wine.

Letting it go was to let a part of me fly
The tears have dried, I no longer cry
Yet a thought is born each day, and each day it dies
So I ask you now : “Were you hurt, by all the goodbyes?”

The nights that daily memories steal,
Are simply vacant ’cause I no longer feel.
If you are hurt, my muse will serenade you till you heal;
My verses only weep these days, they’ve lost their appeal.

Yet broken sonnets have their own rhythm
I’m learning to love the pain of freedom.

Ps: This piece was written sometime back directly from the heart. Since then I have made numerous edits and it probably looks very different from what it used to when it was first born. Yet as a budding poet, I aspire to forge links of authenticity and honesty with my readers and put the vulnerability, that is a key ornament of the truth, out for them to read and relate to… I have an intuitive desire to share the raw, flawed, unedited version with you all, but I’m not sure…

So, if you want the unfiltered version – to feel what I felt when I wrote it, or to see how this piece stipled with imperfections grew from a gibberish of inchoate, uncomprehended emotions – comment down below!!!

If we reach sufficient comments (let’s say 60šŸ¤”) I’ll post the raw version šŸ¤­

  9. In our desire to be perfect or to get it right we sometimes lose the true emotions behind what we want to say. As beautiful and honest as this poem is would love to read the raw version.
