Death Shreya Mishra

Death Takes so much away from you. You move on, Life takes a new turn. You look at the sky, And he's missing it: The beautiful way That the sun shone today.

Shreya Mishra is a graduate student in the Pratt School of Engineering, and aspires to pursue a career in strategy consulting.

How he missed this morning, And the mornings after that– That's all that the sky tells you. The smile on you Reminds you of your betrayal, For Happiness should have lost Its way to you.

You moved on, And yet, not quite. The way he crinkled his nose, And wrote you poems; His laughter, his anger, his desires— All reduced to . . . one word, Memory.
