Life After You Left
It’s been a while since you’ve rang me up for a
call,
Since you’ve left, I realised I had nothing at all,
Left with no one to lift me when I stumble and
fall,
I stay on the ground, I couldn’t rise and stand
tall.
Life’s a misery to be living without you at all,
I wait by the phone, looking out for even a
missed call,
I’ve been waiting to return to the arms I adore,
But now you’re truly gone, left a false sense of
lull.
My life without you is nothing but a dead-end
wall,
Can’t turn anywhere, to the ground, I weep and
fall,
I realised that I need you to be strong and stand
tall,
To be in my life, to hold me together, to be my
all.


🥀Above lines are from The poem named 'Life After You Left,' in this book, one of the collection's best poems, captures the unfiltered feelings of grief and desire.
