Best Poems Written by Vamakshi Sharma

ABSENCE THUMBS

Love comes softly,
Like a whisper in the dark,
But it’s echo-
It clung to my chest
Long after the warmth had gone.
I bled in silence,
Counting the cracks in the floor,
The cracks in me,
Each one a testament
To the promises you swallowed
And spat back cold.
I loved you 
Like a storm loves the sea
Reckless,endless,
And yet
You left me drowning 
In tides I cannot name.
The hurt it isn’t dramatic,
It doesn’t shout
It lingers 
In the quiet corners,
In the hollow where laughter once lived,
In the space between my ribs 
Where your absence thumps 
Like a heartbeat I don't recognize.
Love hurts 
God ,it hurts.
But i keep the pieces,
Like shards of glass 
I can’t throw away,
Because even broken,
I remember the shape of your smile.
