Avalanche of Emptiness
AVALANCHE OF EMPTINESS
When wily death rang the bell, you swiftly slipped in it
Never did you think for a while that how will I stay alone?
Deep in my heart, an avalanche of emptiness has hit
It’s unfair of you to leave me alone mid-way of our life
To let me suffer in silence drenched in sea of grief
Hadn’t you promised togetherness in happiness and also strife?
How could you bury that vow of togetherness? Aren’t you very mean?
Why did you add this new squalid rule in our game of hide and seek….
That you hide forever, I fail to seek to stay as your widowed queen
My mind has gone blank, I see everything now only in black and white
Flowing tears have dried my soul cleaving in it a lifeless tunnel
Your memories like thorns prick my loneliness each day and night
The darkness of your loss is absolute, not just like an empty dream…
To which I could fix a ray of false hope and try my best to survive
You have left my life distraught peeling away every trace of cream
My vacant life has gained an expertise to manifest intense pain
The ‘me’ in myself is dead as a door nail when ‘you’ in ‘us’ is robbed
To fill this void by anyone else will always go in shattered vain!
