Someone I Loved

The nights don’t seem to end for me.

They go on and on like an incessant movie.

With a star-studded cast in the foreplay,

They brush off all my aches throughout the day.

I wonder about someone as I gaze upon the moon,

Her silhouette blurs the glow, fairly too soon.

I picture her eyes, oh! Shining so bright;

Her smile, takes my breath away, blushing under the moon’s light.

I revive my consciousness full of sorrow

She was neither mine yesterday, nor will she be tomorrow.

It seems that life’s playing me; I’m double-bluffed,

I don’t know how should I forget someone I loved.

As times gone by tell us, the most astonishing things

Come about at the most unexplained moments.

So, did she enter my life, taking my hand,

Steering me past all the torments.

I was lost in the vastness of her eyes.

I could only hear her charming voice.

It appeared to me that she was my special one,

For she subdued all the worldly noise.

But all this now, has left me in a void.

Which I terribly want to avoid.

But I can’t, the grief, has me, handcuffed

I don’t know how should I forget someone I loved.

But time, they say, heals all wounds,

Though mine seem to deepen as the night looms.

I search for solace in the stars above,

Hoping to cease this lingering love.

But memories cascade like falling leaves,

Each one is a reminder of what my heart believes.

I trace her name in the tongue-tied air,

Wishing she could feel my despair.

Yet, in the quiet moments before dawn,

I find a sliver of strength to carry on.

For in the darkest nights, the stars still gleam,

And perhaps, for years, I'll continue to dream.

So I’ll cherish the pain, for it’s all I have left,

A bittersweet reminder of love's theft.

And though she may never be mine to hold,

Her memory will warm me as I grow cold.
