Jay Narain Poet Rhyme

Heartbroken

I trace your absence 
In the hush of midnight’s sigh, 
your laughter haunts the empty air, 
Each whisper a wound and a lullaby. 

My tears fall like silent art, 
A testament to love that burned too bright— 

But in this echo of shattered dreams, 
I feel the strength within the sting. 
Fragments of us remain in every breath, 
A garden of could-have-been watered by tears— 

Heartbreak may fracture, but it doesn’t end: 
From these shards, hope learns to mend.
