Poetry

But still... You Left.

Prerna Katare

You saw me crying in pain,
Each and every tear went in vain.
I tried to stop you again and again,
But still... you left.

Our every conversation turned into strife,
Your silence was as sharp as a knife.
Yet, I promised to be yours throughout my life,
But still... you left.

Our world was destroyed like a rive,
Still, our love tried to survive.
You knew that your smile kept me alive,
But still... you left.

Nothing was easier, nothing was harder,
Your hand was in mine, and I trembled never.
We were meant to be for each other forever,
But still... you left.

Your love for me was unconditional,
The moon, the stars, the universe... all so lovable.
Then why did life turn out so unpredictable?
And still, I wonder... why you left?

My love, my anger, my smile, my tears-
Nothing stopped you.
It was hard to believe that someone
Sleeping there with flowers all around was you.
I tried to wake you like I always used to do,
I kissed your forehead,
I called your name so many times.
I tried my best to change the end of our story,
But...
But still, you left.
