Emptiness unfathomed As pain devoured me like darkness spread Hopelessness is overwhelming As doubts pierced my very core Until when should I stand firm? Wearing my courage in isolation What good it will be? To fight a battle on my own. Where have Love gone? A pledge I hold so close in my heart As torment lies where u used to stand And diffidence engulfs me like big waves in the ocean Does happiness hold a stance amidst all these? I doubt it, perhaps not!
