My Greedy Heart

After seeing her image,

my eyes were thankful,

for they had seen something rare,

something so precious.

But my heart became greedy,

wanting to be with the precious one.

She became everything I ever dreamed of,

someone with whom I could simply be myself.

Sometimes I question the universe

why was I given to a person like her?

But somehow, she entered my life,

bringing smiles, happiness, and comfort

I never knew existed.

I will never know why

life chose her for me.

But in the end,

she was the most beautiful gift,

the universe ever gave me.

It was like a knife

pierced my heart and stayed there,

If I pulled it out, I will die quickly,

but if I left it there,

I would die slowly.

She once said she cared,

but still believed

I deserved this pain for loving her.

Now I miss someone who hurt me,

and I still love her,

without expecting her to return.
