When Love Dies

Late at night

my eyes could merely see the rocking empty chair

 you left behind.

Never knew It would leave,

wounds that'll ne'er mend.

The art on the kitchen wall,

The pillow you sewn

Each line 

Like a diamond glittering at moonlight

Like a reflection from the mirror

I envision every corner, you

May be you held me in my sorrow

May be I learnt to sing because you inspired

But here it is

 the vacant table with a broken eyewear 

Of yours, I supposed.

There's silence 

There's calamity

The lost joy, the gone years

Sufficient to mourn for today

When love dies.
