Whispers Of A Fading Dream Poem by Anitha Vijayakumar

Why are his shadows on my dreams,
why is my heart so lonely?
Why does silence he noticed
linger, heavy and unholy?

Why can't he understand
the language in my eyes,
why does love bring so much pain,
a truth hidden in disguise?

Why did I lose him after winning his heart,
a victory turned into defeat?
Why did I love with all my soul,
if our paths were never meant to meet?

Why couldn't we become 'we',
two souls intertwined as one?
Why did love promise eternity,
only to fade like the setting sun?

In the quiet of the night,
memories whisper soft and low.
Why did he not see the light,
in the love I tried to show?

Why is there so much pain,
in a love that felt so right?
Why did dreams turn into rain,
falling softly in the night?

Why did fate draw us apart,
when our hearts beat in sync?
Why did I lose him after winning his heart,
a truth too bitter to drink?

Why couldn't we become 'we',
two souls forever intertwined?
Why did love promise eternity,
only to leave us behind?

In the echoes of the past,
I search for reasons why.
Why did our love not last,
why did it say goodbye?
