Day-7 OctPoWriMo-2018
Prompt:Unsent Letters




Dear B,

Every day is full of sunshine.
The birds chirp in their nests
There are the scented blooms
Which assail my senses all the times
There is a rush to finish so many errands.
Life moves on at its own pace
And I adhere to the robotic race
And then...when the heart is crushed
I wake up with an emptiness, missing you,
Wishing you were around, giving me that warm hug,
Erasing my pain, providing solace. How I miss you!
There are times when I feel your presence
Telling me, be strong don’t give up
There are times, I feel a vacuum
I call out your name, to find some base
Nothing happens,

The darkness in my heart
Is greeted by an eerie silence.

Yours heartbroken...

    1. That is one pain I carry to my grave. I lost him 35 years back ago.
