Yesterday, we gazed at each other,
Today, we do not even want
to stare at each other…
Yesterday, we gave all the rights
to each other,
Today, we don’t even want
a nickname for each other…
Yesterday, we decided never
to leave each other,
Today, we are not even able
to live with each other…
Yesterday we decided not
to hurt each other,
Today, we are not even
reluctant to kill each other…

We understand that hurting
oneself is hurting each other…
Even though, a single jerk has
managed to puncture,
The wheels of our love, care &
adventure…
The sand of our endearment is
slipping away gradually
From the fist of our love,
that we tightened eventually…
