Love, Heartbreak but Freedom

Then,
I loved you; I never let go of you
You loved me, yet you had your own dues.
I clung to you; the parasite, which feed on you
You suffocated, asked for freedom from this servitude.
I, the sanguine, promised this would work, stayed resolute
You, the defeated continued to stay put.
I, relieved; in the fairy world I continued
You for my happiness, tagged alone no clue.
I, all along choose to ignore your woes
You, all along developed a hatred, deep root.

Today,
I realize too late, how wrong set were my views
For the naive and romantic me, only always knew.
How love was over caste, how love was over religion, how love was over the almighty above
How love was unconditional, a feeling too delicate, a feeling so painfully true.
I, 'now the selfish?', have steps to turn back to
To grant you the freedom, you endlessly pursued.
The path now for me, has been bedecked ahead
With traces of wilderness and abundance of solitude.
The heart takes a beat as it dejectedly concludes
But the conscience is what sighs and is finally rescued.

PS: I wrote the poem at 2 last night and posted it. Today morning, I felt how silly it was, and it was just the lack of sleep and a mind filled with unnerving thoughts which bought out those words, so I deleted it. Thank you Saru, because you felt it was worth posting, so now I repost it.

    1. If it was not meant to be ours, we have to let go. Coming out from that, is an uphill task, dreaded. Thanks for your comment Bikram.

  3. I'm glad you reposted it!! The best things we write is when it is either very late or we are too tired- because then our mental defenses are down and we really are able to be transparent in our words. They become powerful!

    This is amazing!

    1. Well said Connie, mental defenses. Couldn't agree more. I can rightly say, I wrote what I felt at that moment of time and right away published it. Thank you for your comment Connie.

  5. I think that's absolutely touching. Love is a hard feeling to define but something that we all have in commun.

  11. The moment of truth when you realize that letting go, is the deepest form of love.

    1. :-) I too love the 'Then' lines Ramya. Naive innocent, living in our own sweet world.

      But fairy tales are shortlived, the 'Now' will happen today or tomorrow.

      Thank you, your comments are so sweet and motivating :-) Awaiting an update on your post!!

  16. You won't believe it. I have saved that notification in my mail and was reading the poem again. I clicked it by mistake and landed here. And, voila! you have posted it. But why didn't I get the notification? Anyways, it is such a brilliant poem. Don't thank me and 'worth posting'...It is much more than that...I guess I am one lucky person who is surrounded by all the wonderful writers...

    Also, post poems more often and create a separate tab for it...:)

    1. Thank you for the kind words Saru. But honestly now I feel the poem is nice after reading all your comments. I guess that is why the comments are important sometimes :-)

      Ahh, if I can write well consistently I will surely try and make a separate tab for it!
