The Last Words Poem by Somnath Roy

'I don't love you'
That's what she said,
And went away,
Out into the night-
Out of sight,
Leaving me helplessly alone,
Alone in my home,
To think of the past;
And forget the trust-
I had on her,
And start my life all over again,
After suffering the immense pain;
Which will never be the same.

Now, as I watch her,
Going out with 'nother boy,
Looking 'pseudo' happy,
My insides scream in agony-
For this grand felony,
Friends try to console me
'Coz they don't know the tranquility,
The huge emptyness,
She has left her trace-
Carved into my heart,
Every time it ejects a pulse,
I feel a sudden impulse;
Like an ever-increasing curse!

'What did you get out of this? '
Someday, I wanna ask her,
In establishing your aim-
Of tearing apart two souls,
With the heart of coal,
I could've given you so much,
And, in return, felt your gentle touch
Can you swear you're fine?
By just not being mine?
The answer is negative;
I know you better than you do,
Someday, you'll realise it's true-
I'll remain yours through & through.
