Heartbreaker

Swati Nitin Gupta
I met him by chance

When he asked me for a dance

Somewhere from a distance

A voice pierced into the trance

And said he was a heartbreaker, heartbreaker was he.

He swept me in his arms lovingly

Looked into my eyes adoringly

Kissed my lips ever so gently

Promised me pleasures of heaven in galore

Like a gullible fool I fell for his lure

I was floating on cloud nine

When he whispered in my ear

I am a heartbreaker; heartbreaker is me.

I still couldn't believe,

Didn't dare to see,

The truth was in front of my eyes

When I heard the other woman's cries

He is a heartbreaker; heartbreaker is he.

Why did you play with my emotions?

Why did you show me love and devotion?

I cried ...

Deep inside I knew something died

And then I remembered...

... He was a heartbreaker; heartbreaker was he....

    hey there! Great write, you can feel emotion in this write - love it, it could be any of us in such position so easy to relate to... Just one small thing I think I'd take out the 'in' before glore? Don't think it is necessary is all. Keep your pen dancing....
