Once I woke up <br />from my deep sleep <br />and my heart ran fast, <br />to meet my love.. <br />But alas, <br />i coudn't remember that, <br />my love has gone forever... <br />my love is the departed... <br /> <br />Though he is miles away <br />......somewhere... <br />below the sky <br />He seems to lie <br />just in the core of my heart... <br />It was the very day of <br />our first anniversary.. <br />That he came to me <br />with a bouquet of red roses <br />and handing it to me, <br />said slowly, <br />'Dear, my heart refuses to say goodbye <br />But can't help myself.... <br />Goodbye dear, <br />Goodbye forever.... <br />He was going to <br />start a new life... <br /> <br />At that moment, <br />everything around me <br />seemed to be like a dead world.... <br /> <br />Those very words of his <br />were like the pointed ends <br />of weapons... <br />as if they are <br />planning to slay me <br />Why on earth <br />had he changed his mind? .. <br />had he not promised me <br />to accompany me <br />in every step of life? .. <br />Had he not taken a lifelong oath <br />of our relation <br />to flourish each day? ... <br />he may not know <br />how much <br />I am suffering <br />at present...... <br />and will do so forever... <br />But he does know <br />for sure, <br />that he will lead a life <br />full of agony <br />till his permanent sleep...<br /><br />Rituparna Choudhury<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-departed-5/
