Written by Anjali Pandey
I always knew she was like fire
Still, I let myself burn in her heat
Sometimes, she was like water
So, I let my soul quench its thirst
When the roots of love
settled deep inside my heart
she left me in pieces, shattered
just like broken glass,
Did not keep her word, promised
She would be beside me forever,
Memories of us haunting me in flashes
Never thought she would burn me down into ashes,
Even now I wait for her,
Let bygones be bygones, it’s all a lie
She will never know, for her
Lonely at night, I still cry.
