The Departure

By Arra Shashank

Celebrating alone!

She's leaving today;

Candle light in the midnight,

Keeping company by myself,

Reading Dostoyevsky's

Crime and Punishment!

When I first saw you,

Your eyes didn't even know me.

Today, your eyes leave,

Our hearts knowing each other;

I always stopped

Before the song of us had ended,

You always thought the song of us

Had never ended,

Fate's crime,

The punishment of mine!

Because I want to keep

The song of us going!
