Cheated

By Bhavya Gupta

Never had I felt so awful,

So embittered and resentful.

Yeah, its because of you!

You did it! Like a mouthful chew.

Severing every part of my heart,

You broke it, with a tart.

I had believed you,

Trusted you, but you broke it without cue.

Trusting you, turned out to be my biggest mistake,

Capturing my soul, like a cake.

Running your bare feet,

On my naïve figure, you cheat.

Now, it is dead,

Just a skin is left,

Tormented by you,

I turned into heartless rue.

Showing less but caring more,

For all the close people, I tore,

Not showing the real me,

Locking my tiny heart, with a key.

I took a pledge,

To keep it caged.

Here it is today, behind the bars,

Taking pleasure in broken stars
