Never let a relationship break because of ego. Let me know your thoughts
EGO
The words were never spoken,
The hand though stretched
yet never found the courage
to stop her from behind
The emotions had a sudden burst
but halted in between
before tears could moist his tender eyes
The smile became hollow
The mind a vacuum
The desires were wrapped and stashed
far away from his own reach
And those steps dragged away unforgivingly,
for his obnoxious ego became too big
leaving no space for him to stay
And now that she was gone
lost in some distant oblivion,
and the fact that he was left
with a broken heart to mend,
he remained perplexed and confused,
questioning every time,
why his days had become
poignantly dark and depressingly blind.

A poison that kills everyone around us and by the time we realize it it’s too late and we get infected by our own poison.

There is no place for ego in love !
When it enters, ego has to walk out the door already !
Beautifully written, I loved it 🙂

Ego no place for it at all. Love this poem. Ego or mind is a cruel and destructive beast. Love or Soul Love has to override all temptations to hurt the other. Often it is difficult as we rise to the bait then we are sunk.

egotism and love cannot co-exist. love is selfless. ego is selfish. they are polar opposites, unable to ever mesh together.

Such a beautiful exposition about the most unwanted feeling in a relation. Just a thought, won’t the line should have “her” instead of “him”–> leaving no space for him to stay
Cause the female is leaving.Correct me if I’m wrong.
