Darkness In Love

By Ritam Bhandari

Hearing the fate of fables

That fold too soon

I tip toed the cutting corners of this chronicle

Tap , tap , tap

How long until I tap out ?

I am outrunning myself tonight

Into the broken arms of full moon night

Despair rings the loudest when the world is still ,

Choking to the death with a wrapped heart where blood rushes in

When my eyes are closed I see myself with you ,

Enveloped into sounds of your soul pulling me into a velvet blanket

But slowly vanishing through a vortex in a complex net

Why am I here fading in your residues ?

While you are constantly shunning but foolish me still running .
