That Perfect Fit of a Heartbreak

You just stopped being there

for all of the best, the worst of all times

where you ignored most of my plea

hands held up like surrender spree

You just stopped coming back

when I never threw you out

You just stopped walking by

when I thought we’re side by side

I reached for a hand,

I reached thin air in space.

Where were you when I looked back?

That empty spot at the corner of a couch

Where had your essence gone?

When I sensed the warm disappear

You just stood up, turned away

                without a  second glance.

My heart skipped a beat as I heard a siren sing

red flashing lights, a warning death is near

I lingered with disbelief, scared of a sacred need

until I saw your back, living like nothing’s amiss.

I reached for your hand,

I reached your cold empty space.

Where were you when I looked back?

Your shadow that used to fallback behind.

Where had your essence gone?

When all I could see are disappearing acts.

You just stopped, stared to forget

                in a heartbeat, without a glance.

Where were your little words?

Ones you’ll whisper in my ears.

Where had your sonnets rhyme?

My words halted in mid-second stride

You are my perfect fit, now ending in a broken thread

                my heart abrupt in break.// 010515
