The GIST of my LOVE..

A picture paints a thousand words,
what words devise is hard to conceive.
So i take you down the memory lane,
though its hard to reminisce, tough to retrieve.

Lets move to the summer of '07,
twas a mistake, i still bereave.
A chip on my shoulder, i would say,
i erred, i mistook, is hard to believe.

I was basking in the glory craved by men,
flying high in the eighth heaven.
Fame unbarred, i was A+ on card,
all-rounder even, proclaimed now and then.

With that 'one-fault', i changed my fate,
that proved lethal, yeah! Hell!
With a sudden jerk, made life intricate,
broke, broken, when i fell.

From ways of victory, to roads of rampage,
from roads of right, to the river of riot,
from golden verses, to a blank page,
from fun-filled flight, to barred bondage.

Yeah! Indeed was a Girl,
i mistook as a pearl.
Bound by her thoughts, i ruined life,
damaged me, caught in the curl.

Dark her thoughts,black insight,
but the show plausibly pure, almost white.
I lost my path, swayed from the right,
i fell deep down, an enormous height.
I lost my sleep, lost my diet,
found everything lovely, better than alright.
I was 'falling', knew not my plight,
because i was shaken, wasn't upright.

Thought she cared, thought it was Love,
her eyes said this, twinkling like stars,
Assuming, fancying, imagining, fantasizing,
hoping, praying, yearning, dreaming i was!

One year passed, i thought i'll do,
but before i could, she said,"I LOVE YOU",
Summer of '08, yes it was,
in the lovelorn errand, i was through.

One year more, things changed the pace,
summer of '09, i was out of the race.
She did something to me, i couldn't cope,
i was shattered in whole, i hated her face.
She lied and ditched, led me to hate,
my tears kept rolling, but she didn't wait.
She moved on, changed her style, changed her gait,
with a new toy to play, she was on a date.

I begged and prayed, cried and whined,
her reminiscence pained me, kept me crying.
Her lips met his, now she wasn't mine,
thought of suicide, thought of dying.

I lost my love, she swayed from the right,
i had fallen..ah..she was my plight!
I lost my sleep, lost my diet,
found everything dark, darker than night.

Soon she called up, said,"I am sorry",
"I still love you, honey don't worry.
You are my first love, keep in touch,
i still need you, miss u much.."

Now that was pain, severe-most on my list,
for me not pure, how could she dare?
My love was short, fake, my fault,
was not a story, was shorter than a gist.

She pained me a lot, loved me not,
i stand nowhere, here she brought.
I wasn't strong, swayed with her,
she played on me, a merciless plot.

'Falling back in love', is what i fear,
because.. She made me cry, who was so dear.
No more of 'Love', promise you...never,
because i am in blues, as "I Loved Her......"
