The words I wanted to hear
Were the ones you never said.
Left me alone once again,
With a strange dull ache.
Groping in the dark was I.
Pleading you to stay.
Don't go!
My heart cried
but it was in vain.
Smiling and laughing!
You turned away.
While I watched and
Into the empty space stared.
Nothing more had I wanted
except your warm embrace.
Just  a few more moments
A little more time.
A few more words
Perhaps to share a smile.
Nothing more !
Yet you didn't stay.
Like an answered prayer
You had come.
Like a curse
You went away.
Rakshinda.
