If I let the door ajar to my
soul
wear my heart on the sleeve
trust every smiling face
and every fake praise
tainted with those broken desires
then the fault is in me
If I let him be the sweet talker
and blush at every small
trivial comment
sing his praises
to my heart’s content
then it is my wrongdoing
if I let those shiny trinkets and
gifts blind me
and I could not see the
deception he was planning all along
and devilish desires in his smirk
and his pursed lips
if I am blinded by all those
signs and
the illusion of the love
got the best of me
Believe me, my friends,
the joke’s and the laugh is on me.

Yes, but I think we have become too cynical.

I can relate with it but as Shantanu rightly said at least few of us here loved❤️❤️. Although unrelated yesterday I was reading Shashi Tharoor’s interview where he said something which made me think, that always forgive but never forget!! I don’t know whether it will make sense here in this context but somehow your brilliant poem reminded me of his words…but you wove brilliant words here!

Thanks Tanya anc yes your thoughts do relate to my poem to a certain extent.
We do remember the pain of the unrequited love but forget the beautiful memories it adorned our life with.
