Is love still alive?A Poem by Fariha Tahseen KarimThe heart captured silence when it was with you and now there are lots of cracks that I can't sewYou slapped me and tore me apart I was outrageous but couldn't hear the pounding of your heart When blood poured out and you needed help badly I controlled myself and just looked at it sadly I tumbled and was almost falling on the sand But I held a tree branch instead of grabbing your hand When the air grew colder, I refused to take your coat I would never call for help even if I was in a wrecked boat When it was 2am and I was walking home But I refused to go with you even when I see the kidnappers roam I bit my tongue when I see you cry I am trying to solve our puzzle but I just can't try Because I remember you say "No one can take you away from me.' But then you left me saying now you're free You said I was wrong, when I used to be myself You moved away, when you knew your presence might help Didn't you see me crying at the stairs of your house You took a bird's eye view and sneaked out, like a mouse The sky crashed on me when you said you moved on I waited for the sun but the sky was sunless even at dawn © 2014 Fariha Tahseen KarimAuthor's Note
