#NaPoWriMo #2

It’s Day 2 of the month and I am desperately trying to keep my writing streak on. So here goes my second poem for #NaPoWriMo.
This poem talks a little about heartbreak. There is no dearth of heartbreak and poems on heartbreak in this world, so this is my attempt to add another poem to millions already there.

“Heart was made to be broken” – Oscar Wilde

Aftermath Agony

You were gone,
Dead long before I could realize your presence.
Looked like, Universe frantically wanted to teach me that,
Time doesn’t wait for anyone to be ready.

You were gone,
Dead long before I could complete our song.
Looked like, Cupid desperately wanted to teach me that,
He is God of love and never fair.

Now that you are gone,
Amidst heartbreak, I embrace love.
When I write about you, every word aligns perfectly,
Contemptuously laughing at my imperfect life

Now that you are gone,
Amidst longing, I accept the truth.
When I think about you, all I hear is howls of melancholy,
Yelping at my abandoned and dilapidated heart.
