The parting shadow looms so large

a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob, India

The parting shadow looms so large,

No light on it can prevail,

Ye shutter my sentiments in pieces,

Ye have declined all my domain.

I brought choice flowers to adore thee,

You chose to crush the same,

I employed all my talent to adore thee,

Yet ye considered it's fruit to be a shame.

I lament the fact I adored thee,

I lament for I gave you my heart,

Sweet were thy smiles deception,

Hard thy heart sweetheart.

A sweet poison, sweet venom,

Ye paralyzed all my life,

Ye ate away all my happiness,

Penalizing me for life.

Maybe for you, it was a frolic,

A fact to boast of another prey,

Yet the wounded lies wounded forever,

Wounded even to this day.
