The Unfinished

He sighed and uttered,

“But you know why?”

She understood his compulsion,

And said “Good bye”.

He walked past the dry leaves,

And she felt their pain in her heart;

They cried under his footsteps,

But he was rift apart.

The silent evening felt asleep,

And the birds in their nest too.

She stood still with the biggest lie,

And he started a new life’s vow!!
