Cold Eyes Poem by Ashutosh Ranjan Tripathy

There were those days, many days ago,
When through your eyes everything was told,
They conveyed the love, the care and trust,
But now those very same eyes are cold.

There were those days, many days ago,
My resolve sapped, yet you made me bold,
With your eyes, you kept on soothing me,
But now those very same eyes are cold.

There were those days, many days ago,
When for my carelessness you used to scold,
Your eyes used to chide me quietly,
But now those very same eyes are cold.

There were those days, many days ago,
When through streets, timelessly we strolled,
Your eyes gave mine enough company,
But now those very same eyes are cold.

There were those days, many days ago,
When shapes out of clay we used to mould,
Your eyes used to spell mischief and fun,
But now those very same eyes are cold.

There were those days, many days ago,
When on the beaches we laughed ‘n rolled,
You’d look at me, all the love in your eyes,
But now those very same eyes are cold.

There were those days, many days ago,
In your arms, my frame, you used to hold,
Your eyes said, “I’ll always be there for you”,
But now those very same eyes are cold.

There was that one day, many days ago,
When you said, “Together we’ll get old”,
But one day you shut your eyes and left,
And now those eyes will forever be cold.
