Without You

I have waited For more than a decade To know of who the skies Would choose as my partner In this world I have waited With the patience Of one so totally enamored With the idea of you, Having fallen from your altar Up there in the skies To save me, through your love, From the murkiness of this world! Having finally come across you, I have no words to describe The soothe and the relief that Kept somersaulting in me Lighting up summer days And painting cozy nights In my whole essence! Yet, when you pushed me out Of the gates of your garden Making me understand That I would have to live in this world Without you, It felt like the mirrors which were built Around my heart, for the sake of Keeping it safe Cracked and broke into millions of pieces, While turning into a typhoon Which pushed itself into me Hurting me and having me bleed From my eyes! Now, As I walk on the paths of Earth, Aware that I will not have your hand to hold, I wonder at when the hurt pressing upon my heart Will disappear I wonder if I shall ever be able to enjoy The sight of beautiful and old trees, Or even listen to a love song without crying! This world, without you, Has become my hell, Meant to impose its load of sufferings upon me And having me yearn, at all times For a release! Without you, I am no beautiful light that shines Without you, I am no agonising poet Without you, I become a wilted plant, ready to Die at any moment! And however much the soul of Earth Shall beg me to find some strength To love it rather than you I shall never be able to As, ever since the beginnings Of creation, I have been shaped out To suit you! Without you, Let alone the world, The whole cosmos will not Seem attractive to me And I shall reject everything offered to me With venomous spite spat from my very core! Why, Without you, I shall cease to exist!
