Broken Hearts



Its a wild creature
and thats why I kept it behind the bars

It is tinged with
Love and war, Passion and rage, threat and strength
With some blunders of loyalty, sincerity, sophistication, and sensitivity
And thats why I kept it behind the bars

The sun is 91.95 million miles away
And you are around a few thousand miles
For the sake of poetry i might say
That It is longing for  your arrivals
But the paradox anyway,
it is aware
It is aware
That you wont appear
And thats why I kept it behind the bars

Its a wild creature
But still if i put down the bars for you
And if it happens you see the broken parts of it
Be the sun
Be its sun
penetrate through the fissures
Storm the shadows with sunshine
For,
Its a wild creature
And thats why I kept it behind the bars

Because they don't send ambulances for broken hearts

About this poem

It centres on a vulnerable heart that is confined behind bars to shield it from the harsh society.
