Killed By Expectations

I used to believe that fate

Was bringing us together,

But knew something long before I fell,

I knew you would go, I knew it too well.

Still, I used to set myself up with hope and always end up bathing in my own tears,

drinking cup of  bitter-sweet memories,

I met with disappointment when you left, like an illness.

Shutting down my dreams.

At times, I wanted to strangle myself,

As I was left with the realization that I’m always alone.

My heart cried in a piteous moan.

Life has tested all my patience,

And got killed by my own expectations.

Now you have become nothing but a muse.

I won’t blame you anything nor I hate you,

because all we had was nothing but a fairy tale of dreams,

Reality has slapped me with hammer of sorrow,

Soon you’ll forget me, soon we will become strangers again .. today or tomorrow.
