the betrayal

by prachi
(Dhampur, UP,India)

Sun rose black, moon lost its gleam
Winsome laughter turned into silent scream
Left with affliction, grimacing with pain
Every effort of obliterating your memories ends in vain
My saudade know no bounds
All I am,
A rampike uprooted from its grounds
Misunderstanding you to be a true-blue,
Now I am left with no clue,
A cimmerian soul, I thought divine
But now the nova has lost its shine
