Mistake

Akash Gogoi

The most fatal mistake I ever made
Was to put my trust in you.
Keeping aside the pain you gave me 
I tried to run away.
All these lies you made up
They all seemed so real.

My wounded heart ached
It seemed hard to stay alive.
I let these delusions 
Control my mind.
I looked into the mirror,
I saw an empty space
The grey wall behind my back
Was in front of my eyes
I couldn't see myself
I disappeared….

I ran to the busy street
Screaming out my heart
I turned around I saw
You smiling at me
How could I let this happen to me?
I let this emptiness take over me.
