La Douleur Exquisie

By Snehasish Roy

Unspoken;

Memories turning frigid.

Couldn’t take a breath with ease;

Wishing what’s left gets freezed.

Unintelligible and Discerned;

You’d find happiness in someone else.

Crossing paths and embracing paradox,

Egotistical tenacity amidst adversity.

Refusing to listen,

Desperate to be heard.

Attachment;

A twisted beauty.

Promises at stake;

Respect marginalized by fate.

Anguished alongside the unfed hope,

Drifting away further each day.

Epiphany;

Midway reminiscing for a while

Shimmering memories;

Your beautiful smile.
