Lament
LAMENT
"You will forget me, the love we once shared
Has vanished in the attempt at disguise.
The dreams we once knew can't be repaired
It's gone with the light that once lit your eyes"
Romance rolled to predict ‘we would never be apart.’
Unleashing your passion, you dared to propose.
Emotion was entwined from you to my heart.
Couldn’t imagine door of heart, you will close.
Territory of love was built in vain.
Facile feeling in guise of love got coiled.
Love terminated in inevitable pain.
I was devoted, but destiny spoiled.
Days rolling, scrolling on bliss and rapture
turned mournful chapters of our love-story.
Lamented lovers flunked to grasp and capture
amour, losing ecstasy and glory.
