Menace 1 Poem by Bhartesh Kaushik

Girl, I know my love faded,
and it won't be aided;
You took me back in your lightest shadow,
where we first dated.
On 14 I waited there for you,
hoping for you to come to eat the same fruit;
Just to heal the wounds,
and to whistle the same flute.
My dictionary ain't working,
it is not having your name now;
You forgot my love when I drove you in my car,
and measured your rain in my empty childhood toffee jar.
Years back my heart got drunk,
when we got high together;
From then on it never pumped blood,
it started pumping your soul in me like a flood.
Your words stopped,
I started feeling;
Your ears stopped,
My eyes started working;
Your buried love stopped,
I started digging.
You left me for no reason;
Your love for me stopped,
and my faith started burning.
