An Unfought Fight Poem by Krishnendu Gupta

Look its all over

we are not we anymore

I lost all my love

for you, I am sure


Stop sending goodnight kisses

as I don't feel them,

all of your whining texts

I think its lame


I am not cruel,

maybe you are hurting inside

till it heals, I'll be

a friend by your side




when you said all these

I was too proud to hear

maybe my love was fragile, or the

pain was too much to bear


I felt betrayed, thought

I loved you enough

living in suffocation,

you said was tough


So we eventually parted

in our own separate ways

you chose to move on, and

I kept standing there for days


Days passed by

pain became desperate tears

memories weren't fading

emptiness wasn't scarce


I waited for a miracle

for you to come back

but I only did waiting

for a sudden change of luck.


It seemed unlikely

for us to be together again

maybe you wondered it too,

maybe you didn't give a damn


your answer was no always

you moved too far away

all I could have done, to

fight for you on that day
