Forbidden Cries- Simrat Kaur Bhalla

She was in love

She was in pain

He made her feel like

She was a shame,

She always tried

She always cried

But he never cared

what all she sacrificed,

She pretended to be fine

Confining her repine

But he never heard

her heart bursting with whine,

She was a harmony

Let me tell you an irony

He claimed ‘He loved her’

Even then she suffered in agony,

She gave her all

he killed her soul

She forgave him

It was a never ending loophole,

She expressed her hurt

But what happened next was worst

He just got mad

Said she over reacts

Broke her into pieces

But the disrespect never ceases,

She begged him to stop

Because it was a lot

But he just forgot

that her heart was soft,

He never tried to know her

And she was looking for someone who can show her

That love is as beautiful as people say

Who can listen to every bit , she wanted to say,

She was not valued

In order to avoid her feelings, he just said ‘okay’ and overlooked

Whilst the thought was still stuck in her head

She just started feeling dead,

He showed his scars

She treated them as stars

But he made her pretend she had none

This is how she used to burn.

But when she realised

How much she has borne

She opened her eyes

And started fixing the pages that were torn,

She stood for herself

Knowing what worth she has

She knew ,now it was enough

Recognised what she deserves,

She left that street

Where it was her defeat

He called her selfish

But she didn’t care as she relish

into the depth of self love

where she was above

each and every viscous site

She loved herself enough after that night.
