Lost Love: The Final Poem of a Broken Heart

This poignant poem, by Sudipta, expresses pain from lost love and struggles to move on, exclusively for Different Truths.

This is the last poem I wrote to you
Never shall I recall your memories 
To burn the same scar again and again 
I love you and that's the reason for the pain 

 
In this lone region 
A hammer stabs my reason, 
Why did I fail in love? 
Now, I lay in a broken hub 
 
No way, I can’t amend my hurt 
How could I miss his dark eyes?
What's my fault? 
A river always craves to meet the sea!
And so, I!
 
Maybe it is my last letter, 
For that traitor 
For him, it doesn't matter, 
But for me, I reread the lost chapters 
 
You see, I don't love him now 
Nobody knows how to stop a raging brook!
