Love Lost

By Aahna Rawat

You came into my life; gliding smoothly,

Like a warm breeze; oblivious of the far cries,

You hugged me with your covers of light,

As if protecting me from the cold skies,

Falling on the clouds of delusion,

I couldn't see the weather change,

An encompassing tornado; the dark horizon,

And the bleeding lies fading away,

As the blustering winds tried to wrench my heart,

I held on to the illuminating memories of the past,

You walked away; unbothered,

Leaving me in the murkiest depths,

Of my wretched heart,

Now I decided to let go; the thread you cut ages ago,

And the moon appears every night,

To hear my silent cries; with the tear filled eyes,

It sends a sympathetic glare my way,

Caring for me in a way you never could,

The moon loved me;

More than you ever did.
