Madhumita Bhattacharjee Nayyar

Two eyes overflowed like flooded rivers, Refusing to stop ever, Staining the rosy cheeks, Leaving grey streaks On her skin fair, Drawing rivers of despair, Hair dishevelled, A crazy wind meddled With a delicate, petit her As she tried hard to hold back the tears And wiped them away with the back of her palm, With a tempest inside, still calm, All seemed lost With the darkness, as the Sun crossed The horizon slowly And dipped down into the sea, He never cried,

Nor was scared to say goodbye, He drowned, to resurface again, His territory to regain, Without any sense of loss or remorse, Nor did he cry himself hoarse, Then why should she cry for her love, mourn him? Cry and waste her tears on his whim, Leaving her was his loss, not hers, He was not worth her love and care, Looking up at the sky, she gathered herself, Promising not to waste herself on someone else, Nor let her happiness cease, With a smile in her heart, she made peace.
