August 11

By Mohith S

There was a might

in her eyes

which shot straight

at my

throbbing heart

and

it stabbed me

a million times

until

i realized that

taking out those pieces

of cracked glasses

one by one

slowly

from my chest

felt like

a lifetime

a lifetime of effort

but

i relished it

a painless pain

as long as

she smiled

at my tears

my wails

of suffering through

her innocent eyes;

it started to rain

outside.
