So I was just sitting by
Wondering all the reasons why
What does one want with a heart?
And my heart, well, it was broken you see
And I didn’t want it anymore
So, I thought
Let’s put my heart on sale
So will you buy it, or are you a window shopper?
It’s not pretty enough to be displayed
But I’ve put a sign board
It’s price on request
The price, my pain
It comes with no guarantees, and there’s no return policy
And I’ve warned enough
It’s damaged enough
It’s broken
But I don’t want it
It serves me no purpose
Except to sometimes hurt me enough to keep me awake
I’ve tried getting a replacement
Maybe it can be repaired?
But I’ve had no luck
And I’ve given up
So my heart, I’ve put it on sale
Are you a buyer, or just a mocker
And let me tell you again
It’s good for nothing but the pain
But I don’t want it
It serves me no purpose
Except to sometimes hurt me enough to keep me awake
So here.
Buy it.
And do whatever with it.
You see, I don’t care enough.
Maybe you can keep it as a reminder
Or you can throw it away
It’s no good I know
But please take it away.
My heart, I’ve put it on sale.
I don’t want it anymore.
It serves me no purpose
Except to sometimes hurt me enough to keep me awake
So, will you buy it?

Most captivating and heartfelt read !
Absolutely loved it.

Thank you for your kind words and wishes. :)
Beautiful…..
Thank you Arpit.
This is bloody brilliant Mahima. The idea behind it is so brilliantly spooky, loved it.
So delighted to see you on my blog. Thank you Karan. The idea of selling an emotionally dysfunctional heart really, really got to me. I knew I just had to write this.
Loved it. Loved. The pain travels through quirkiness in a beautiful way.
Thank you love.
This is brilliant! You’ve put into words so many complex emotions. Kudos to the poetess in you.
First time here…will be back for more.
Happy Writing!
This means so much to me. Please keep coming back. Thank you! :)
This is so brilliant. So simply and beautifully expressed.
Thank you Kajal. <3
I tried selling my soul on eBay once. It didn’t work. But this poem certainly does. Nice job. Keep writing. :)
Thank you Shakti for taking out time to read and critique. Shall write till I live, or live till I write. :)
Mahi, i am shocked, what beautiful piece this is, What amazing way it has come out, pure, crisp, beautiful, shining, divine, just impeccable! Please keep writing and tagging me in your every work.. Much Love
Thank you Ashwin. I’ll put it on Twitter next time I post, so that you’ll know. Much love back at you.
The words just cape outright and overpowered me… Hope that’s not too long a reply… @Mahi Take care and may god bless you :)
:)
Your heart is on sale…..
Packed within a veil….
I’ll try to buy…..
But will you allow me ?? i am not a nice guy !!
Its like,
I am a man from beyond the rest,
Likes the pain, within a heart the best,
I am a buyer of all the broken things,
A businessman of love, and the torn up wings :(
This is no fate, no destiny, no end,
That we meet on this tragic end,
I am the sole collector of pain….
The lonesome who suffers for others gain….
So give me all the broken hopes and cries,
For you, other cherishes lies,
I am the one who has the skill,
To take up all your pain at will. :'(
Ah, a poem for a poem. :)
Nice…..Love the theme,you choose.
Good luck for future poems :D
Thank you :)
Brilliantly written! Got a classical feel to it.
i am not very well versed with poems but this definitely is one of the best i have read.
Your comment made my day. Thank you very much.
When i read it, i thought it was me who is saying this, but actually you wrote my words!! Simply great!!
Thank you so much! If it touched your heart, pardon the pun, then my work is done.
Gloomy. Dark. Agonizing. Melancholic. Thoughtful.
It’s was hard writing it. At least it came across. Thank you.
If the heart makes you ink so well, well, it serves every purpose! No? About time you cancel the sale & start an auction. A blend of free verse, conversation and poetry. Smart writing.
I, thus keep the lazy aside & drop a comment finally.
Smiles and Cheers!!
Thank you Pankaj! For finding some time. What you wrote, bang on. :)
Gloomy yet it’s got a zip in it … loved this one
Thanks a lot. :)
Hey there, I really like the concept of your poem. I think it’s amazing. Though, I fail to understand if it’s a sad love poem, or just a poem of a depressed soul.
It is a sad love poem, and it is a poem of a depressed soul. Amazing how you picked up on both. Thank you. XO
This poem defo adds freshness to your writing skills..KUDOS!! I like to be optimistic so just few lines:
Sometimes the kind of close we stumble
erases the coordinates, the lines, the world blurs
Sometimes the kind of far we fall
Even the irksome Mars-Venus thing starts to seem believable
Never Loose Hope!!
Cheers!!

Thank you Avishek.
So my heart, I’ve put it on sale
Or you a buyer, or just a mocker
And let me tell you again
It’s good for nothing but the pain
nice lines.. new perspective..selling of a heart…Your tweets are jovial, your poetry is melancholic. Hmm.. Keep on the good work.
I appreciate it A LOT. Thank you! :)
Can feel it, the poem I mean. The emotional pain keeps me going. Yes, I would buy it.
I love the doom and the gloom. Brilliant.
Thank you Andy. <3
