Times gone by

a poem by Soumava Bhattacharyya

Tears come rolling down,
everytime I think of you.
All alone you have left me,
a flower without its color and smell,
that is all I am without you.

So many cherished moments,
we have spent together.
Good times are never to come back,
a candle has burnt out,
but memories will live forever.

So many promises you made,
but you could not keep any.
You promised to be the shining star in my life,
and promised to guide me all the way,
but all I got from you was pain and agony.

You were the sun which didn’t shine,
you were the moon which didn’t charm.
Like a thirsty man chases a mirage,
I always kept craving for you,
but I could not ever get you in my arms.
