When She's Not There Poem by Pradip Chattopadhyay

How do I go on when she's not there
how do I live the emptiness
how do I breathe one of the broken pair
how do I pass those lonely days!

How do I save all the fragrance of her
how do I preserve all her touch
how do I keep her all the while near
tell her I love her how much!

How do I find her when she goes away
how do I call out her name
how do I have one word of love to say
how do I write any more poem!

How do I nurture her handmade garden
how do I sow there new seeds
how do I carry her memory's burden
how do I stop the growing weeds!
