Love had spurned me,
pain engulfed my soul,
happy moments spent together,
relived in my mind times thousand,
stabbed my heart again and again,
mere death seemed a compromise,
for love (mine) was deep I felt,
promises of bond for life,
repeated many times in past,
seemed now to be hollow echoes,
reminding of the void,
the ultimate compromise (death),
seemed the only way,
but then what would happen to the love,
would it live without me,
to let my love for her orphaned,
for neither she was nor me,
i questioned myself,
would my pain or death renew my love,
my love needed to be kept alive,
that spark and sweet memories,
valuable more than my life,
a smile broke out,
she ceased to be important,
the mere love enoough to last,
gently i retraced my steps and thoughts,
life is sweet i realised,
the worthless removed by nature's will,
retained with me my love. I stepped ahead.
