Death Of A Song

Death Of A Song

written by: Deepti Singh

 

A storm builds up somewhere
A river melts and swells
I can see you walk by the sands
Deep within a loneliness splits
It bleeds
I can see you through the dark
You walk into the sun
I can see your footprints across the sky
The blood curdles
A few breaths die
It’s cold by the aisle
You turn back and smile into the oblivion
You hum a song I had written for you
I can see you have forgotten the last lines
Certain songs are better left incomplete you say
You walk away
Two suns sink
The river runs out of ink
Words dry
