LIBERATED


The strings of my heart snap,
As our fingers unclasp, 
Our hands separate,
This moment, I so hate.


I pause and hesitate,
You will run to stop me, I anticipate,
Alas! You do not,
Your attitude leaving me distraught.


Bravely I hold back my tears
In my eyes, my lashes hold them there,
The lump formed in my throat hurt,
Oh why did you have to desert!


Leave me alone without your touch,
Without your love, in a hollow such
In which I will fall deep,
Engulfed in darkness, forever to weep.


My world has turned topsy turvy,
I know I am now nervy,
My lips remain quiet,
Not uttering anything about the emotional riot.


A riot that is burning in my heart,
Since you asked me to part
Our ways today
Without letting me have any say.


I will move away 
With not a single ray
Of hope of togetherness,
I quietly accept your gift of forever sadness.


I still stand captivated,
By your love, incarcerated,
Will you be able to let me free,
Without any urge to see me!


My love unsatiated, 
My mute heart, frustrated,
This is not what I wanted,
Nor for this I waited,
If you want me to go, I refuse to stay shackled
To your love, I will rather be free, be liberated.
