Vipin Pratap Poet Narrative

The Dinner Table

She lit the candles 
With all the light
She had in her eyes.
She put the flowers in the vase
The freshest of all.
Food and deserts on the table
With all the love 
She had for him.
The Cutlery she kept
Reflected her smile
And the excitement she carried.

Holding the hands of his love
He pulled the chair.
The candles shimmered light
On the love they shared.
Their eyes aligned
Throughout the treat.
Their hearts danced 
To match the beats.

She woke up to the
Candles extinguished
And the flowers that lay blemished.
Everything on the table untouched.
She saw his message on her phone.
It said,"Sorry, I cannot 
Make it to home". 
Ignorant she was 
To a lie he repeated,
Because it wasn't her table
Last night he attended.
He loved the game
To play with feelings
And like always
She trusted her love 
And continued believing.
-Vipin Pratap
