Void Poem by Aparna Chatterjee

Don’t you feel the void
In your eyes?
Don’t your eyes well up
When she cries?

It’s been years…
You’ve seen her.
She knows that you
Miss her.

So why live a life
Full of lies?
Why deny these ties…
Under your deceptive guise?

Do you wait to see the day
She dies…
To bid her those final
Goodbyes?

Unlike the sun and the moon
Once she sets in her ashes,
She’ll never rise.
Even if your heart then
Cries and cries…
