always burdened with ambition but my lugubriousness would precook the proposition

hostel am I burdened by cataclysmic putridity
my lugubriousness remunerated humourlessly
(Weekly Magnetic Poetry Challenge • August 31–September 6, 2026)
It was a break of dawn, when this heart was scattered into pieces,
The beautiful morning was devastated and turned into lugubriousness…
The heart full of happiness and love suddenly now in distress,
Unexpectedly a beautiful soul has departed, and this heart was left unaided….
The mackerel sky bowed overcast, as my tears begun to drop,
Silence overcomes the bustling place, where I stood in the middle, bawling….
The eyes of every passerby are gazing, while I sobbed in pain and drowning,
This world of mine turned into an empty cracking shell, I became brittle…
My vigorous heart is now crippled and crumpled, has no cure for now,
Asking myself, why you didn’t fight to live, or seized not to give up…
Could you tell me how to mend this melancholy heart of mine?
When your home is in heaven and your absence is incessantly now?
…I love you… but,
You broke my heart dreadfully without saying good bye….
