Absent Love: A Forgotten Soul’s Silent Fury

Soumik’s evocative poem delves into a mysterious, unspoken entity, revealing a peaceful mass of hatred without rituals or remembrance, exclusively for Different Truths.

It was there
Untouched, unfelt
No one knows who's there
Inside the stitch
A mass of hatred
A lump of neglect
No wreath, no fragrance
No prayer, no sticks of incense
Far away, detached, debauched.
 
Yet
No dispute, no quarrel
No revenge, no violence
Whether to bury
Or to ascend over a pyre.
