Darkness of the starry night

Lying underneath the starry sky 

Passerby must be wondering why

Pondering it to be an overtly romantic affair
But who would guess

That it’s just few last breaths of what we once reared

The romance, the truehearted unbendable love

Breathing in the last ounce of romantic air

The sweetness and affection that we once possessed

Lying here we think of the thoughts that would lay us off each other.

Now breathing out the air

We push aside the affection that resided in our space
Wishing for one last falling star

For one last wish
The wish to get over each other

 To strengthen us for what lies ahead of us in this

The passerby must be awe inspired

As they vision, the façade of something so admirable

For it appears that what we are sharing is like romantic odyssey

Lost in each other.

But would they ever guess this is the calm after the storm
When we clean up the distorted path

Preparing for the funeral of the ones who are dead
The dead count includes love, faith, trust and togetherness.

For they can’t reside with misunderstanding mistrust and confusion in this broken nest
