Panacea of the Forsaken

Raunak Sarkar

I carved it deep in my shattered heart—
I wasn’t a creature to be loved.
Yet deep beneath, I sense a fear:
The fear of my own beloved.

Am I destroyed, or merely ill?
Is there a cure for what I feel?
But is it not ambiguous,
This life I lived so tenebrous?

I shall reincarnate, with whole heart
After receiving a panacea.
Yet I will be still alone—
Thus, it is and thus will it be.

    A half heart better than none at all and more than many possess Nicely written

    I like it. I like the dark feeling I get from it. It arises feelings of disparity. Seems it calls to those who have accepted heart break, loneliness, and then acceptance toward the end, leaving a lot of room for thoughts as well. A great poem of emotions. Great work!

    Well written.
