Confessions Of My Heart: Interlude 2

Dear Armaan,

It’s a cold rainy night with the weak looming ominously ahead.  The rustling of leaves and sweet murmur of the pouring rain are the only sounds that whisper to me. My mind is stirring with a million things yet it is blank and tears are relentlessly rolling down my cheeks.

I’m crying, I can’t help but cry as there is this void that has engulfed me. My heart aches still I try to be strong and it’s breaking me apart each day. I wait, wait for you to come back and hold me in your embrace, loving and caressing me like always. There are days when all I want is to bridge the gap and come running to you as the distance that separates us in not miles apart but hearts apart. But, I can’t do that, can I? When it’s you who’s tearing us apart.

Without you I’m a burned down flame,

Whose ray, no longer lights the way…

A soulless flower, A coast-less bay…

A deemed topaz, A dried sea…

A mirthless bird and a hazy memory…

Without you I’m there but I don’t seem to be,

Come back my love,

As each day now seems like eternity…

I don’t have it in me to say anything more as I’m nothing but an emotional mess. Though you say waiting is a waste of time and I’ll realize it someday yet I will be right here waiting for you. And I wish it were easy but it’s hard to stop loving and say goodbye.

Love,

Faya

P.S: The poem is written by me.

Sleepless Dreams

Like fallen petals of a dried red rose,

Hugging herself she bellows,

Reviving his aura and holding his essence,

She reminisces the times of his presence.
