Saranya Prabhakaran

3 September, 2025

There was magic in that moment

The moment that he left.

There is beauty in goodbyes

 

The silence roared like a thousand earthquakes

There is eternal pain in that stillness.

But our faces were composed

like an untouched flower in the wind

How does a human body deceive like that?

 

His misty eyes were a testament,

that my feelings were not unrequited

Though I waited and I waited

To hear just one compliment from him

That would have sedated my heart

And tied knots in my stomach

But that tide never came.

Although there was never a day

when his lips did not utter my name.

 

The warmth of my hands failed to melt his frozen heart

As he left me on that cold, rainy, moonless night

The night drenched me in its cruel melancholy
