Broken Heart

Now I am a lone tree with no one to care,

With the leaves of happiness withered I look completely bare,

You were shockingly snatched by the hands of death,

I dwell in the memories of days filled with mirth.

Hadn’t you promised to stay with me forever?

Then why did you abandon me midway, my dear ?

My broken heart is struggling to beat,

Without you my life can never be complete.

My entire life has gone for a toss,

Alas! There is no way to replace the loss.

Time is a healer, people said,

Though alive, my soul is already dead.

Like the hands of the clock that just ticks by,

I shall count my lifeless breaths until I die.
