In Oblivion
Like a dream
You have vanished in the wake of dawn
Like a Fairy tale
You have become a Memory full of disbelief
Like a Wish
You have turned out to be unreachable
If this Farewell be
Then Farewell No more do I have to say
For Words have I found Not
And Tears Have I neither lacked
Since you kissed life goodbye
Before the clock hits 12 at midnight
On the 23rd day of a September Born of 2022
You’d be in a new home
Dug six feet beneath the earth you once walked on
Pitiful Sight!
Indigestible thought!
Yet Irreversible!
A pill bigger than the glass that waters it down!
Heartbreaking!
Yes, Heart Wrecking!
That is what this emptiness will continue to be known for!
Adieu, My Bestie!
Adieu, Aunt like no other!
Adieu, Cheerfulness Overdose!
Adieu, Till we meet to part no more!
For this very farewell,
I find no words to say.
