Stay

By Sibani Mohanty

There was this sense of warmth in you, 

As lovely as the morning dew. 

All the stories we lived together, 

Are we just going to throw them forever?

All you were was just a stranger, 

One who ardently comforted me daily, 

Recalling our tangled strings pulling away pierced me so deep, 

It felt like falling over a bed with smashed glass pieces on it. 

Since you stranded away for eternity, 

Leaving me with that stinging soreness to ache me till death.

May our other lives be kind to us,

So, we could just stay each other's endlessly.
