You know what,
Let’s end it here!
You stay here if you wish
Now I just don’t care.

Endless sleepless nights,
Spent on the bed of torn crumpled papers,
Every time I gathered myself to stand,
Fate never worked in my favor!

Let that be,
Let everyone and everything play their tricks,
I’m so done with all these things now,
That I don’t get hurt even with the deepest pricks.

You know why?
So many hopes die a brutal death,
that were enough reasons to be alive;
When your trust is broken,
So many words get lost,
even before they make their way to pages
The words that will now never be spoken!

So, here I am,
So done with you, done with all the pain that you caused;
Done with all the rules that were imposed,
On a free spirit like me,
Let me take all those parts that I left with you,
Parts of me left with so much of trust,
Oh! How so foolish of me.

And you know what,
It’s alright even if my poetry doesn’t rhyme,
It’s okay if one more day is added to my countless sleepless nights.
It’s okay even if people see my scars,
Now I’m quitting to wear this mask.

You know why?
Because all of it reminds me of you;
And since I was never even a page in your book,
I have to quit everything about me
That once belonged only to you!
