Explanation was lucid but shattering to me <br />Reminders of bygone era haunt as nightmares <br />I stood aghast and vacillated in present <br />Striving to recollect pebbles of memories <br />The amusing past I shared only with you <br />All ended the way I haven’t ever expected of <br /> <br /> <br /> I shiver whenever I plunge into our old days <br />Alone travelling in horrible Dark Age <br />Hurt, disguised, rejected and slapped by fate <br />Trying to hide myself even from my shadow <br />You were the last whom I wished ever to know <br /> <br />Wind penetrates me, make me stumble and fall <br />No more battles I’ve to win, I’ve lost the war <br />“You live the best way” my last wish for you <br />With the wind I’ll be gone without any noise <br />Silent as I was earlier uttering the word “Adieu! ”<br /><br />Kumud Ranjan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/adieu-25/
