Aching- SHOUVIK SARKAR

How long you have been gone

i don’t know.

For you were just here

laying by my side.

The cold breath of loneliness

emanating from you

and touching me.

Never felt this way before.

Should I share my warmth with you ?

Let me see the fire burning inside.

Just a peek,

I promise.

Why are we like this ?

Two strangers sitting together

uttering no words but yet talking.

Now you avoid me

like am some chronic disease

forsaken by all faces.

It hurts to even speak

thinking of the times we were together

for i thought you were mine to keep

Then you slammed the door to my heart

leaving a hole as big as your sorrow.
