Yesterday I lost my heart

a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob, India

Yesterday I lost my heart,

Today never dawns on me,

Years have passed since that yesterday

Today I can't even see.

Shattered two pieces beyond repair,

I am gathering myself since an age,

Alas, this shattered self,

I surely cannot face.

Don't tread on this land I Pray thee,

See here all fragments lies,

Your steps shall crush them further

One step more and I shall die.

Pass by, pass by, I pray thee,

Don't waste your time I say,

Marble hides filth below it,

Pass by, pass by, pass by, I pray
