Losing Myself

Why did it hurt so much,
Ending it with you?
It’s not like I was in love with you
Staying with you was more of a routine, a habit.
May be there was love once,
But eventually, it wore off, didn’t it?

We were just two people living under one roof
More of strangers and less of roommates
But definitely not LOVERS!
Then why??
Losing you was inevitable.
We knew we were miserable with each other.

But then again, losing myself..
I didn’t see that coming!
I think that is what hurts me too much..!

The lost faith, youth,
Time, love and self-respect,
Losing my entire self
And starting all over again
Picking up the broken pieces
That is what hurts me sooo much.
