Dhruva

Tongue bleeding,

biting back my words

Swallowing. Choking.

My needs and wants fade,

Crushing my shoulders

The weight of the unspoken.

At crossroads we parted

Never to behold, immortalised

Ecstasy, our coquettish days.

Unmoved tokens on the chessboard

Ties undone, talks unserved

Unadulteratedly transient.

our irrevocable annihilation beckons,

Greeting us like an old friend.

Some friendships never change.
