Heart! We will forget him!
Heart, you know I love him!
You and I to-night
The night knows my tears
You may forget the warmth he gave
I am still burning
I will forget the light
And his light defies the bitter darkness
When you are done, pray tell me
I pray that grief will be my companion
That I may straight begin
In the night I begin
Haste! Lest while you're lagging
My heart is slow to forget
I remember him
I remember him
The theme is about Emily Dickinson trying to persuade her heart to
forget the guy she loved. It is compulsory to forget him because of the
circumstances, and on the other hand, he gave her the warmth and light.
Her conflict in this poem is between her heart and her mind. She is
trying to tell her heart to forget him otherwise she can't go on with
her life.
This poem reminded me of Kripa who has been hurt so much by Angad that she is taking this drastic
step to save her marriage to a man she really does not love but is indebted to him because he has
always been through her dark moments in life.
I now think of KYPH- The Obsessive Love Wheel
It is called a "wheel" because it is always turning round & round as the relationship continues .
Sometimes the wheel turns quickly, other times slowly, but it is always turning & always painful.
It is ironic that angad's actions and words push kripa into this act & as we all know actions
have reactions & this particular one will haunt them for a long time to come.
