Simon Akhtar Poet Rhyme

I knew it was over

I knew it was over when I started waiting more,  
Talking to me became to you just like a mundane chore.

I knew it was over when your texts got shortened,  
Our fights became usual, and I kept feeling frightened.

I knew it was over when you found another choice,  
How happily you told me about his compliments twice.

I knew it was over when you started getting distant,  
I tried holding on the rope, but resistance was resistant.

I knew it was over when you began to disappear,  
The moment I feared was suddenly near.

I knew it when reassurances fell flat at times,  
Hollow words, redundant phrases, and overused rhymes.

I knew you were gone, even when you were very near,  
Presence means nothing without love, without care.

I knew it was over when your eyes lost their spark,  
The distance kept on growing, leaving its mark.

I knew it when with you, I felt so alone,  
I had said you Goodbye long before you were gone.
