that it is resilient
to the blows of rejection
the horrors of post-love displacement
keeps doors open
until the harsh winds of rejection
blow them away
and applauds the vulnerability
thus enforced
cheering the door-less walls
waiting for arrival with sunlight
of in the stealth of night
a moonlight bathed entrance
and hums the theme songs
of togethernesses
longed for
and if by chance
and if by error
the heart-thief drops by,
if apologies are rendered
for mistake and uninvited peep,
the heart is so made
that it breaks
like Faiz said a long time ago
it breaks and breaks
into hopeless longing again
and again.
