Your one lie changed everything that was in between,

A brick when thrown can ruin a whole building.

I trusted you, confided that there will be nothing but my priority,

When you’ll fall I will be the one holding.

I shared my entire life with you, never foreseen,

The way you communicated, now I could sleep.

When I close my eyes, I hear your voice shattering,

I stumble upon every word, love was the only thing missing.

Carrying that love in my heart, I thought I would live,

Now it’s hatred, my love you have lost it.

I won’t change, nor I’ll cry over you leaving,

I’ve become an empress,

the crown I gave you, I’ve now bestowed it to me.

-Riya Shah
