Broken

By Sayok Sarkar

With each moment the time slowed down to a halt forever;

The anvil of agony pulverized my heart;

Even the bed that I shared with my only love felt the weight of my enshrouded corpse;

The Bed mourned with creaks and screams;

My hollow soul tried to escape the fate but was unable to break the shackles of destiny;

The fog of unknown formed by the breath of despairing heart;

The Melody in her scent, makes me dance in my sorrow;

Shattered pieces of heart punctured my soul;

The ecstasy of my dance dissolved like a burning camphor into thin air;

The castles we built together are now the symbol of misery and anguish;

Death of the eternal Phoenix;

All to ashes, no hope;

Broken strings -

Of Passion;

Rest In Pieces.
