Your body takes up space
A weight you had to bear for so long
Mind empty as a sterilized room
No sparks flew in it after she was gone
Dust been the faithful companion
Empty sofas in wait for so very long
A feeble thump of the newspaper outside
Has already the dawn come?
To have some company,
Perhaps a long time back,
You dusted those chairs for her to sit
Perhaps it's been too long a wait
Your mind has embraced the defeat
Still at times those dark eyes
Pierce your heart with a look of utter perplexity
Her expectant face, fading of her smiles
Why couldn't you return the warmth?
Why did you choose to slip into a loneliness in perpetuity?
