Regression Poem by Alavi Maliha

I called you once or twice, yet the phone kept ringing,
And nothing more but my sighs
Filled my dark room with shadows clinging
I wanted to tell you, tell you what's left unsaid
When you left my doorstep, my silence filled the hollow you hate.
You wanted answers I couldn't give
I couldn't shade my tears for you then,
For you I tore myself and died and lived.
Vigile my soul, agile my eyes
Weakened by the agony, a fragile heart dies!
Let me tell you, my love
Tell you what I felt for you.
I felt the sunshine, the moonlight
The thunderstorms raging through.
I'm fragile, let me go.
Your heart still beats, but mine beats no more.
I wanted to tell you, how I die
And even death can't do us apart
Filling your heartbwith abundant cries.
Don't you cry when I leave, I will though
If you love me, you'll let me go.
I call you no more, my heart skipped a beat
I'll love you till the moonlight shines
Even in new moon, soon enough we'll meet.
Pained my soul, I couldn't let you know,
How much I loved you, even my fragile heart loved you so!
