Heeding to the heart

Doctors dissect the heart,
meticulously, with utmost precision to learn how it works..
To know the curves and crevices, the arteries, the ventricles, the valve..
To understand how this vital organ sustains human life.
If you ask a poet,
they will tell you-
give it a love so strong that can survive the greatest calamities,
give it hope that the wounds it has suffered will one day just be scars which won't hurt,
but most of all,
give the heart what it wants, and it will live forever. 

Fell out of love

I didn't know you could fall out of love with someone,
I thought love was LOVE.
The thing that didn't know any bounds,
the permanency of this concept was engrained in my bones.
Until that night,
when I saw you look at me in the eyes,
saying you love me, so very much.
Because all I could see was empty words,
your distant eyes,
an unknown tone and I knew.
I knew what the reverse of falling in love looked like.
