Surrendered.Stupified.Severed...... Poem by Shagun Khera

It was here in my arms..
where you spent all those sleepless nights.
whispering words of perennial joy into my ears...
sugar coated sham..lurking behind your smile..
and like a fool..i never looked away from your eyes...

It was here in my lap..
you rested your aching self...
and sucked all the care and warmth you could...
from an oblivion ready to sacrifice...
for the cause of your comfort....
never refused to fade...
blessed with jade....
yet...not even for once..cud you feel a flinch..
for i was dere.. to chase away the fears...


it was here on my lips..
where you laced your lust...
only to name it love....
pretending to surrender into passion..
only to cushion the raging desire...
perfectly aware.. that even when the flame snuffles..
the wax won't freeze..
i wud not let it thaw...
you had me in..inside out complete....

It was here on my shoulders..
you cried the world of atrocity..
only to drown me in despair..
of what happened to you..
and a self made messiah would rise from the ashes..
who promised never to let the water fall...
even if it meant to make the whole world cry and bleed..
raw deal had its toll..
its even to this day..it shines on my soul..
a black void of absolute zilch...


It was here in my room..
we danced on the tunes of romance...
and when the lights dimmed..
your face wud shimmer like gold..
and like a beggar of alms..
my quest suddenly seemed to end..
by your side..
life will reside..

and one day..it was again..
from the creed of my solitude..
i cried the wailing heart to your pervert ignorance..
only to listen.. you have moved on...
and i should move on too..

hitherto....the pain died and the tears dried...
buried beneath the magnanimous pile of ignorance..
i, the hapless..was resurrected..
only to sever...you from the life...
which you held as a slave all these years..
no longer wud the glory of one love…tempt my will...
let the love die...let it die still...
it is to this day..i stand alone...with you gone..
i shall stand this way...i shall stand tall..
with you gone....
