You severed ties,
So ruthlessly,
Gave me no time,
It had taken us years,
To tie each knot ,

With love and care,

 How could two hearts,
Brutally be pulled apart,
You took away,
My yearning heart,
I remain piteously,

Tied to your uncaring heart,

 Humans imperfection personify,
Can this race be ever perfect?
Why you hunted for perfection?
While I remained lost,
Just in the maze of your love,

Trying to enliven and enrich,

 You suddenly found all flaws ,
Where none earlier existed,
You called me your Goddess,
Your  love your life ,
Now my thoughts you abhor,

My songs you detest,

My mail disgusts you,
Was it not you,
Who loved and sighed,
Wanted  my love,
My casual encounter,

Suffused life in you,

 My thoughts, my ideas,

My songs and sighs,
You said were all yours,
Love for you was ,
The ray of light,
Binding two hearts,

Two souls,

Two lives ,
Two entities,
Not for one birth, 
But for centuries to come,
Probably till eternity,

Love you so, you said,

When and how my love,
Caused mental tortures,
My mind fails to fathom,
You glided away ,
So heartlessly,

Finding new pastures,

Leaving me fallow and lonely,
Each step I took,
You took my hand,
Guiding me lovingly,
Lest I falter and fall,

 Canopying my life with love,

Now all alone and forlorn,

How do I walk across,
This vast expanse of life,
Why now I cease to be yours,
Why suddenly our life,

Split into my life,

And your life,

I feel lost and lonely,
I fail to take a single step,
Waiting just where you left me,
Don't make it too long,

My faltering breaths,
Already feel strained,

Life seems to be,
Giving way to the,
Icy hands of death,
Come and take me,

In the warmth of your loving embrace,

Lest the chilly winter nights,
The explosive summer sun,
The lashing monsoon rains,
The cruelties of life,

Encrust  me in their icy embrace,

 
Oh! come back soon.......
