The Unfinished Chapter - 86

Chapter 86

From a day ago, to a day from now
From a week ago, to a week from now
From a month ago, to a month from now
From a year ago, to a year from now
From a lifetime ago, to a lifetime from now
The transient seductions of fallacy distract
She wipes away her tears, just as more follow
In this dance from then to now, now to then 
It's his presence she feels, his face she sees
And then she wonders, would he leave her again?
Just like he did from then to now?
Oh darling, how much she missed him
She closed her eyes, felt that familiar abyss overtake her very being
Falling, falling, jagged rocks slashing her along the way
She felt nothing
Pain metamorphosed itself into feeling
Feeling, but, she was numb, how could she feel?
But she did, she still felt for him
She still loved him, missed him
When it came to loving him, all the strength of the world couldn't keep her away
When it came to leaving him, the will of the world could do all but move her
She loves him, still
She misses him, still...

The Unfinished Chapter - 98


Chapter 98

As dreary as a starless night sky
As quiet as a barren desert where even sands fail to sift
As innocuous as a single dewdrop on a blade of grass
As untouchable as chasing the shadow of a ghost from a life gone by
As astounding as a speed breaker that refuses to give up
As disheartening as the thorn ripping through a delicate petal
As disparaging as the tear of a dove
As antagonising as shattered glass cutting her palms
As detached as feeling naught from glass shard
As still as a final tear from the eyes of her broken heart that falls in an abyss so deep, it's endless
As still as stillness does
