We stood
face to face
eyes locked,
thoughts shared,
For an eternity.
But i was not aware
that between us,
Bricks,
were slowly taking shape into
A stubborn wall.
From below upwards,
the wall climbed high
reached my eyeline
and hid your deep eyes from me.
But even then,
for long,
I kept staring
hoping , someday
I will see you through the wall.
But then,
In a moment of infinite transparency,
I knew
that someone had been on the other side,
held your hand ,
and walked away with you,
even as you too
had your neck turned ,
your eyes fixed on the wall.
I punched the wall,
till my knuckles smashed
I clawed on it
till my nails were ground to dust.
I kicked on it,
I broke my knees
and crushed my feet
I bit
and lost my teeth.
I banged my head on the wall,
perhaps just to forget,
But I could not
the wall still stood tall.
and I bled.
And now,
Reduced
to a heap of shapeless brokenness,
I have to crawl,
away
from the wall.
Away,
from where you were.
Good bye,
to you,
and the space that were you.
