THE FIRST TEAR DROP
THE FIRST TEAR DROP
‘Shedding tears’ is nothing new;
‘Coz, I am used to;
‘Am highly volatile and quite emotional;
So, dropping tears is nothing significant.
Nevertheless this tear drop, I brand;
As the ‘First Tear Drop’!
As it means so much to me;
And hurts me to the core!
The brave face that I put up,
Is deflated like a tyre; and
Shrunk like a balloon; as
I’ve been told ‘I am not needed anymore’!
Never did I volunteer to have you,
When you bewitched me to have you!
Or accepted your damn offer!
Could you just dump me like garbage!
Don’t know how I cried; and
Got my tears out; and
For what reasons as I was born!
Still tears continued to flood my eyes!
Never did I bother about the tears of that sort!
As they were like emotional outbursts!
But, I do bother about the poking pain of this sort!
As I am ditched and dumped by you!
