I believed him when he said with tears in his eyes that he will Love me forever.

Little did I know that behind that smile was a devil, waiting for me to surrender.

still, I put the blind folds on my eyes and held his hand for my own destruction.

Yes, I was just a girl in love, and he? he craved domination and attention.

I showed him my energy and he used it for his own healings.

No, this wasn’t the first time when he was making fun of my feelings.

he lied so nicely, with absolutely no fear of getting caught.

And I was a silly to decide it by playing ‘he loves me, he loves me not’.

Those days, I used to wake up with smudged mascara on my face,

yes, I used to lock myself up in my room for days,

but he liked all that, he liked to see me suffer,

he kept hurting me in spite of knowing that I was already in so much trouble.

He found pleasure in my pain and called that thing love.

he still does. It still hurts.

the decision we made a year back, now we regret it.

maybe it was my fault for not being the prettiest.

or maybe I was cursed that no one could ever love me.

or maybe I didn’t know that love can be this scary.

but now I am turning the page.

now I am stepping out of this cage.

maybe I won’t be able to fly for days.

but I am sure, getting stuck is what I hate.
