Far Away
FAR AWAY
I had to observe as you walked away
far away.
I had to bear my tears flowing in opulence.
Tried to forget you and my ardent ardor
Tried to transcend disgrace of my love.
Your disrespect crushed my yearnings
I wept over years with weeping willow.
Wounded heart yelled and yelled
Tears soaked my pillow on sleepless nights.
Could not recollect when heart turned hard and inert
Tears withered way, slowly and slowly I forgot my love.
Days passed by chasing my shock far away.
Incidentally we met haply.
Reminiscences from chasm of broken heart burst in tears
though I had left you far away
