The Secret Abandonment

Shivansh

Ink perished, but the pain remained

I witnessed it through my glare.

 

Why did no one hold their gaze

toward the old warfare?

 

He was the only one

who dared to stay there.

But as I turned my gaze to him,

he wasn’t there.

 

i wasn't there

I Wasn't There

I WASN'T THERE....

        A powerful piece, it is haunting and minimalist, using repetition and visual emphasis to convey regret, absence, and unresolved pain. Nicely written.

        • Shivansh

          This is what I actually felt.
          Thank you for reading.

          Very ominous. Feels like I am looking through frosted glass as I read this, unable to discern the vague shapes on the other side. Fearful in it's execution. Beautiful.

            I am glad you felt the actual meaning behind this.
            Thank you for reading
