Faces of Lonliness

On that fateful dusky evening about an year ago, My eyes disbelieved as they watched you fade away at a distance real slow. My happy world crashed and fell apart, I could never gauge that I would have to undergo this at the very start. But somehow I believe that you knew this from the start, If only, I could have warned my, now bruised heart. That gloomy evening I watched until I could see no more, You, your figure your form and body any more. From its dwelled edifice, my soul, Began to rip itself glowing like a burning charcoal. Now aloof from me and its temple, my soul, Could clearly see in place of my heart is left a dirge hole. I began to gasp for air and breathe, The aches and pain my skin it has learnt to sheath, To release from within me a scream, a screech or a painful yell, But they not, “faces of loneliness” hide or quench and quell? My heart, mind, body and a homeless soul seek a place for them to hide, But cruel fate has my life exposed and opened very wide. My sulking tears their potent energy bust the rampart of my emotional dam, To God almighty my plea is some solace that I seek to come upon and loneliness ban.
