She Knew ...

In the wee hours of morning
she peeks out of the window and see him leave
sneaking out , dragging his bike
so that no one knows
But she does ...
She knew he will break her heart
yet she gave it to him
she knew he was the con man
and yet she closed her eyes .
She closed her eyes
when he had slowly come near her
when he had touched her cheek
when he had whispered those promises
She knew he would break them all.
She was flying and she knew one day
she will come crashing down
that he will crush her feathers
and throw them
leaving her hopeless and heartless
she knew she wanted to die.
But, years later, when he came back
she knew nothing
she did not know how to hate him
how to slap his face
like she dreamed of for all these years
she did not know how to stop those tears
to stop making her heart beat so fast
All she knew was that she still wanted to love him
She knew she wanted was to live.
