Poem : Let Them Try

They told me love was soft like roses…

But mine had thorns hidden beneath the bloom 🥀.

I entered love with trembling hands,

Hoping for forever,

Never knowing forever can lie too.

People say “Love heals,”

But love was the first wound I ever bled from.

Let them try to love me now 💔—

They’ll only find ruins of the girl I used to be.

---

I opened my heart like a window, Letting in the gentle breeze of promises ✨. Their eyes sparkled with stories of tomorrow, But tomorrow betrayed us both .

They held my hand like they’d never let go, And I trusted that lie more than truth itself. Some hearts promise eternity… while planning their exit.

Let them try to care🖤 Love didn’t break in one moment. It cracked slowly Like glass under too much weight.

Smiles faded, Calls grew colder, Silence settled in like winter.

I gave parts of myself

To someone who never stayed long enough To know their worth. The saddest goodbyes are the ones said without a single word.

Let them try to hold my heart💔

It’s already dust between their fingers.

One quiet evening, love simply stopped breathing.

No storm. No fight.

Just a soft ending that felt louder than betrayal.

They walked away like I was a chapter,

While they were my whole story 💔

The pain didn’t shout

It whispered,

And whispers hurt more.

Let them try to return

My doors are locked, my soul shut, my trust buried deep.

Nights became longer than the truth.

I searched for myself

In the shattered reflections they left behind 🌑

I prayed

I cried

I tried to breathe without breaking.

But healing doesn’t come fast

When memories feel sharper than knives.

Let them try to stay

I vanish before they reach me.

There are truths love taught me:

Love doesn’t always stay

Love doesn’t always heal

Love doesn’t always choose you

Sometimes love is nothing but a lesson,

And lessons tear you apart before they fix anything.

The heart doesn’t break once

it breaks every time you remember.

Let them try to fix the past

Some ruins are meant to remain ruins.

They call my name now,

But it echoes in places

I don’t belong to anymore.

Pain rewrote me

Silence aged me

Distance saved me

Let them try to reach me

I’m not miles away;

I’m worlds away

They’ll try to love me again 💔,

But they will find no doorway,

No light,

No heartbeat waiting for them.

Because I am gone

Gone from the love that broke me, Gone from the promises that lied, Gone from everything except myself Sometimes disappearing is the only way to survive.

---

Let them try…

But love doesn’t return

To the place where it died.

And I—

I’m learning to live

Without the heart they shattered 🖤.
