I was the gold you once wore
Just to melt me in a crucible
A speck of dust on your rusted heart
I thought it was just enough
But the night erased the day
Into the blankness in your face
My hurt wasn’t reflected there
The mirror had long since cracked
Into figments of my expectations
That you banished from your sleep
So I flared the tinder into a blaze
Wrecking havoc in your peace
My fingers roiling your waters
Just flow back to me
Until I saw you weren’t armoured
Never veiled to unveil
Sending me stabs to mark our grave
Smouldering embers in the fireplace
And daylight splashed onto me
Reliving its death in my head
I clung to its outstretched arms
Lest your night came again
Interesting thoughts.

Wow! This is really deep, Shruthi! There were a few lines I really loved a lot.
“A speck of dust on your rusted heart”
“So I flared the tinder into a blaze
Wrecking havoc in your peace”
“Sending me stabs to mark our grave
Smouldering embers in the fireplace”
I even loved the way you ended it. This was exceptional, very well thought over. Loved it ❤
