The Last Words

This post, well it has been long since waiting to be posted. I was actually confused whether I should post it or not. But anyway, I think it deserves a read. :)

Standing on the doorway stairs,

A wishful stare towards the road.

But long since it has been deserted,

When ages ago you left it with a load.

A burden to be with you still remains,

On this wet rainy day it sinks down.

Deep into a grave you made in my heart,

A longing never rightfully found.

I remember, that winter night.

Standing on this same front door,

Tears streaming down my face,

But you couldn’t hold it anymore.

You said it with a grim face,

I couldn’t get it, it was all like a race.

A last kiss and with it ended a life,

You turned your back, a promise broken.

And shattered into pieces, I stood there,

Haplessly hoping those last words were never spoken.

  1. This is beautiful but in deep and very sad and moving way. Powerful poetry, this is, kabisa!

    These lines are particularly troubling
    ….Deep into a grave you made in my heart,

    When ages ago you left it with a load……

    A last kiss and with it ended a life,…..

    You turned your back, a promise broken……

    • Well, it surely is a sad poem. I wrote this because I’ve seen my friends dying this way. So kind of wanted to see how it feels.
      And I understand those lines are troubling! and to some people its really painful too!…

      • I know this feeling ! Its called Self-Criticism !!! Helps a lot sometimes ! It happens that we write something and then feel lack of connection or too emotionally raw !

      • I agree with you! I was feeling that. And I always feel! But sometimes I gotta let go of that feeling and share all my works with you all. :)

  2. Mine was divorce. I am glad it has happened, but that is now. Then, it just hurt. No one wins, despite what the lawyers say. You take something that started out precious and ruin it. There’s no easy way to do that. But, at times, it needs doing; you just have to wait long enough to understand that.

      • It always helps to hear someone else talk about “whatever happens, happens for good in the end.”
        I believe that and it has gotten me through a lot of problems. Hope to hear from you in the future.

  3. Such strong images, the reader is carried right there looking over you shoulder, feeling the heart beats rise and fall…. Words like these must be written, they cannot be kept inside
