Doomed Poem by Sanjukta Nag

Your heart carries dark clouds
But never promises to leave smudges of rain,
So, I have only emptiness to cling to.
Days of yearning stroll too leisurely
To deny the difference
Between solitude and you.
Every time I try hard to lift the curtain,
Dreaming the artificiality in your eyes
May be now speaks the truth,
Catastrophe enshrouds my body
With a cloak of frost.
I don’t know how you are floating still
While I am shrinking bit by bit in dimness.
I had pawned all of my hopes in your fancy shop
And got some metallic assurance in return,
They are rusted now.
So, come back and tell me
If you are worth waiting for,
If the dark clouds of your heart have
Silver linings around the edges.
