Why, breaking hearts not a crime?

Heartbreak?


Naah, it is just "bure kaam ka bura anjaam" as it is often said by the spectators. The question to ponder is why does one action inflict pain on only one of the two people involved? It all began with the two of them, No? Then why is only one of them punished? Why only one of them has to go through all that guilt, regret, sorrow and pain? Why does the torment flow in only one direction?


Everyone speaks up against the physical violence or acts of cruelty in our society but what about the emotional abuse that one has to go through when you close your eyes and think, think about those broken promises, those used sentiments, those worthless feelings, that irresistible regret and that face, the face which changed the world for you, twice but in two opposite ways? Of course, our society as a "cherry on top" is always ready to greet that person with their cynical judgments, which know no bounds.


Define someone hurt and heartbroken? An idiotic helpless person who could not find anything else to do with life except cry over the past and how do we define the one who was responsible for this? Bingo, no one knows! Probably that one had his reasons or was "mature" enough to move on.


Finally the irreverent veil subsides


Leaving alone on the sadistic rides


 Bewildered, I stare down in the pit      


 How ironic it stood, when lit


Maybe the words written above make no sense to those who have never been broken hearted. To them, the words may be nothing more than a dramatized script from the 90's, but for those, who can feel and relate every emotion indicated, these words revise the whole hurt for them, the harm which blackened every nook of their personalities.


Mistakes are a part of human nature. Maybe choosing the wrong one or choosing anyone at all is that one mistake which shifts the reality of world around for the wrecked. My question is, was that mistake big enough to cost us the rest of our lives? You cannot share your depression with your parents, why? Because you made a mistake. You cannot move on with a smile on your face. Why? You made a mistake. You cannot see the one that caused you pain, suffering. Why? You made a mistake. You cannot be the person you were some months or years ago. Why? You made a mistake!


OKAY! For a second, let us just agree on this point. Yes, you were the only one to commit the mistake and for that your heart was broken by someone else but I had an idea that this world was unfair. Then, in the parallel universe how was it fair, why did you not get to break the other one's heart? Why did "your mistake" fall merely in your lap in this very unfair world of Lord?


From the mistake you did to the harm I could get
            No more, no less i wouldn't forget


"The International Human Rights Charter" the key to the fair world and justice. I think that charter forgot a point maybe. Heartbreak, yes heartbreak, It forgot to include a law against the one who breaks a heart, the one who lies, the one who moves on with no symptoms of guilt, the one who plays with the feelings, the one who partially injures someone and then forces that someone to walk the thousand miles alone with no support. For action against theft you have courts, for the rehabilitation of seized property you have justice, for the fraudulent contract you have karma. What do you have for the broken heart? Few Taunts, few words of sympathy or maybe nothing.


 Why is breaking a heart not a crime?
Why does the cry of the hurt have no sound?  
Why does the heartbreaker have no regret?
Yes, because you made a mistake.
