~Insensate- A poem~

Gasping at the sight before me

Breathless I stood, the silence penetrating my head

I arched back, giving up life

Couldn't see it; I am not strong.

So many questions to ask, so much to tell you

Can't talk to you, can't feel anything

Barring the whip of realization

Lifeless, you're sealed.

I see you, enveloped with death

My soul breaking with every heartbeat, like heated glass

I drown back in the ocean of my regrets

Yeah, I'm still numb, shaking.

Your voice was my euphony,

Your name my litany

But who do I call now

Now that my heart's shattered and mute.

I touch your face one last time, reminiscing the best days of my life

With you, I regret every moment spent together

Because knowing how great this love would be

Would have had me being in less pain

But now that I've lost you

Nothing is going to revolve time back and usher you back

You're gone, with the wind towards the clouds

For forever.

Yeah, its a sad poem. Asad dies and this is Zoya's perspective. They hadn't confessed yet still they were much like skinny lovers. And before Zoya could have said anything to him, he leaves. She's numb. And I'm in a dilemma.. why did I even write this 15 mins ago. Don't know, it just occurred to me that tragedy is my forte! Don't get me wrong but I find myself expressing myself writing tragic rather that other genres of poems.

Tell me how it went!
