An Apology to a Gem

I’m sorry for the times I hurt you,
When my heart was shattered and lost,
And you stood there, unwavering and true,
Giving love, no matter the cost.

You listened to my cries without a trace of judgment,
Made time for me when I was drowning deep.
You gave me warmth when I felt nothing at all,
While I struggled, unable to even weep.

You were always the first to lift me up,
To cheer me when I couldn’t find my way.
Compliments fell from your lips like kindness,
On days I was breaking, too hurt to stay.

I hurt you, I know, in my brokenness,
Yet you never seemed to care.
You took my anger, my pain, my frustration,
And held it like you could bear.

You were better than any friend I’ve known,
A healer in the midst of my storm,
Constantly nudging me toward the light,
When all I could feel was cold and worn.

I’m sorry if I’ve lost you now,
While chasing comfort from those who didn’t care.
I catered to people who only sought their own ease,
And in doing so, may have lost something rare.

You were the gem I didn’t know I had,
Until my hands were empty and bare.
Now I realize what I’ve let slip away,
And all I can offer is this tearful prayer.

Amazon Worker

Hey there Amazon Worker, Do you think you pulled one over? Mocked my vulnerable side, only to protect your fake pride. I can’t fathom why I ever asked you to pamper and protect. Your wealth was never my concern, yet you watched my trust burn. As I began to share how I felt, you made a snide remark, hitting below the belt. Do you think I care if people change the way they stare? I’m no longer trying to hide; the girl you knew has long died. It’s amusing now that you said I remind you of your mother— What kind of devil hurts the daughter of another? Everyone says to forgive and forget since you were only a child. I would if you didn’t parade your weak masculinity, born of Rothschild. Your false grandeur can’t erase the damage done, I’ve found my strength and my journey’s just begun. If you thought you were good for my image, Know this: my growth surpasses your limits. I’m a woman whose name you can’t tear from the page, And I will stand tall, owning my own stage. ~ Kanika Kau...

Not So Bhavya

Oh, drop the good guy act, You pretended to care, that's a fact. Someone who was hiding their own shame, Called me psycho and crazy, how lame. You tried to charm me with your coffer, Brushed off my pain, saying, “Stop it, or else I won’t buy a lightsaber.” You took all you could and then asked what I have to offer? Funny how you wanted to burn it all down when you lost your maker, But when I cried and screamed, called me a big faker. You claimed to know love, but never took the time, To understand my heart, my rhythm, my rhyme. You wrapped me in darkness while claiming the light, But all you offered was a hollow delight. Now your shadows fade, and I choose to ignite, I’ll weave my own stories, reclaiming my flight.
