Shattered Trust

-
'I trust you,' I said 
Eyes filled with hope 
Not something I say lightly 

Trust is like a broken glass 
Once shattered 
There's no going back 

'I'm here for you,' you once said 
With that, I put my trust in you 
With one word, it's gone 

I didn't believe what I heard 
It's impossible, but it's true
Heart shattering shattered trust

Tears fill in my eyes against my will 
Flooding down my cheeks 
Dripping down my neck 

Wet, salty, never ending 
Silent sobs 
Can't be recollected 

And now, I'm all alone
Afraid to trust and to hope
Broken promises everywhere

Are you happy now?
You broke me! 
I wanna scream and show you

How much it hurts 
Red revenge nails
Ready to claw into your visage

Whatever did I do to deserve this hatred? 
This vengeful spite 
This scorn and heartbreak 

I'm now a shell 
Trustless

    Such a heart shattering statement. One could only hope that the speaker could find solace in a place where they can reconcile with their lost trust and find a person to trust again. Although, it is also imperative that the ruthless person who subjected the speaker to such pain must be brought to justice.

A Tribute to My Seniors

  Before I start, I’d like to say that this is a very personal post, dedicated to a few very special individuals.  Anderlin, Sharan, Shane, and Mugunthan.  Technically they are my seniors, but they have become something more. These guys are the reason I made it through the year and have become irreplaceable brother figures to me. I may not call them ‘Anna,’ but the respect they earned from me is immeasurable. I still remember the first time I saw them. I was at an ethnic walk practice. It was only my second day there and I wasn’t very confident yet.  The four of them weren’t around on the first day of practice.  That’s when they arrived. They appeared, walking in a straight line. They looked so majestic and powerful that they scared me. They came to stand in front of me and I remember chills running down my spine. None of them were laughing at the moment (you’re not allowed to laugh or smile during an ethnic walk.) I was so intimidated by them. There aren’t wo...

A Sneak Peek Into A Girl's Mind

(Disclaimer: This isn't universal. This is my point of view and many girls might have similar ideas.) What are some of the things that go on in a girl's mind? I'm sure all of you guys are curious.   The first one is about how they feel when they go out. For some girls, going out is a treat and a rarity. They aren't allowed to do so often. So, when they do, they make the most out of the opportunity. Then, there is the conflict of what to wear when they go out. It's different depending on who they are with. If they are going out with their parents, the clothes they wear would be different from something they would pick to wear with their friends. They also have to make sure that the outfit they choose is appropriate for their mode of transport and their destination.  Guys, you might think girls dress for your eyes. But, that is not true. They dress up for themselves. They dress up to admire themselves in the mirrors. (Yes, that does seem a little self-centred.) They d...

Remember that you are a Woman

  Yes, I am one of those girls who spends most of her time with guys. That doesn’t mean I don’t need to remember the fact that I am a woman. Until recently, I thought I would be totally fine with spending all my time with a group of boys. At one point, I found myself deprived of all the things that made me a woman. I didn’t feel respected as a woman. Even though I had a group of male friends around me, I felt an extreme need for female companionship. There are just some things you need another girl for, right? I needed a girl to gossip to. I needed to moan and whine and just talk about the guys in my life. It might sound shallow, but I think it is one of the basic needs of a woman. When I was reading “Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus” by John Gray, I noticed how he claimed that women need to be listened to to be validated. That obviously means having someone to talk to. What better place to go to than another woman who makes you feel validated. The world needs more women w...
