I Cannot Remember Your Face Poem by Anjesh shekhar

PART I

I still remember, the Day;
you walked out of the Door
To Return - no more
It was your Decision,
do yo Remember?



I didn't stop you,
neither you stayed,
for nothing could have you swayed,
even god, then I - who?



There, you were going,
And 'someone was extinguishing'
few 'drops of oil fell'
And ' the wick started burning'



The light slowly 'lightened'
your face became hazy
and in darkness I was frightened
For i was alone again.




PART II

So quickly the time moves
its said. Though for me
its not the case
what is the time now
I can't even place.



There was a time,
when I could see your face
in every ' flower in prime'
but now they seem to have lost their grace.



the butterflies now seem ugly
and the sky incomplete
the moon never waxes completely
and songs have lost their rhythm and beat.



my world has changed
sans you
this was not the world that I claimed
of which I knew.


PART III

the roads that we had walked
together and had talked
of all kinds of things
now stops me and asks
where you are?



I have no answer
yet they demand
i can see
they miss you- perhaps
more than me!



the things that we had talked
now keep nagging me
and wants to know
why you are gone?



they want an answer
and i don't know
what to say
just silence is my answer.



people now ask how you are?
they are amazed to know
for they were sure
of a positive answer.


PART IV

you say you are happy
and so do I -
without each other
but aren't we both LIARS?



you no more remember
the promises made
only to be broken
and I have forgotten
that you have broken them.



And now I have started forgetting
your face, not thee
though visions of you
i no more see
yet someone is always so close
and is unlike you
yet it feels its you.



(I have forgotten everything
its just someone so close
that rekindles your memory
but I cant remember your face.)
