heartbreak kid

I am the heartbreak kid

Newly born in town

Unaware of those clumsy feelings

Which keep bringing me down.

You said those words

& they hit like a bullet

Pierced through my heart

& tears were all set.

You kept asking if I’m fine

I kept lying, faking a smile.

I know it wasn’t easy for you

Then why did you ever have to?

I wet my pillow & wake up with a start

Thinking it’s a bad dream

But, “No, it’s not” says my heart.

Trudging along I met my friends

Even their best advices could not put an end.

The worst part was seeing you each day

Unable to forget you

Unable to hate you

Knowing not what to do,

Since I am the heartbreak kid

Newly born in town unaware of these clumsy feelings

Which keep bringing me down.

With the dawn of dusk,

I resolve to get over you

And the morning brings back everything

All that I had dumped away too.

While flowers prick like thorns

Love songs thud like car horns.

I keep myself going

Thinking this will be over soon

But my dreams claim the opposite,

That I’ll love you till doom.

You’ve giving me no reason to hate

Making things tough, a dreadful fate.

I am the heartbreak kid

It has been ages since I was born.

I still get those clumsy feelings

And I wonder when they’ll be gone.
