Gamji Poetry: A Deceitful Lover


By Musa Amina



When you promised me heaven on earth, I thought it was a dream,

But little did I know, it was a trickster's gleam.

You swore to love me till eternity's end,

Yet your words turned out to be a false pretense, my love.


To me, you were my world, my shining star,

But now I see, you were just a passing shooting scar.

You had the power to control my emotions, like a sorcerer's spell,

Leaving me under your enchantment, unable to bid you farewell.


I gave you my everything, my heart, my soul,

Not knowing you were playing a role.

You gave me the world, but it slipped through my grasp,

A mirage of love, fading like an ephemeral gas.


You taught me how to love, then broke my heart in two,

A master of deception, leaving me feeling blue.

How can I live without you by my side,

When our souls were once entwined, like a river's gentle glide?


To me, we were one, intertwined like vines,

But now I see, you were just a thief in disguise.

I know someday you'll find love anew,

But deep inside, I can't believe it's true.


I'll keep loving and waiting, till eternity's dawn,

Ignoring the doubts, holding on strong.

My friends say time will heal, but I can't let go,

I'll wait for you, my love, even if it's slow.
