I am gone

Shantanu Baruah's avatarConfab With Me

I am gone
like the whiff of wind
for I stalled for long
longing for you
holding my yearning heart
to get your attention
for you to accept my love

I am gone
for despite of showing
utmost sincerity in my words
and in displaying my earnest love
you showed ignorance
and left me hanging for eternity

I am gone
for your callous abrasion
for taking me for granted
showing me hope
and then snapping it away
for your boisterous claim
assuming I will never be gone

You may think it is a false alarm
and I will return
like flowers returning in spring
like the moon coming out of silhouette
like the sun appearing every dawn
but this time you are wrong
for I am gone
never to return again

  1. Ohh! This is sad. Indeed many a times we are taken for granted, when distance becomes a necessity

  2. I am gone…such powerful words written, an awaited longing.
    Words exchange to no avail.
    Time, thoughts vividly imagined, expressed so deeply not to return can be sad.
    Could there be a situation that detained, such a wait.
    Was it time wasted or worth the wait.
    I am gone, never to return sounds like forever. I must say Shantanu this Poem is loaded, speaks volumes, quite
    Impressive.

  3. Totally agree no one likes being taken for granted, ignored or worse being in a one sided relationship. As long as there were open lines of communication in the relationship.

  4. Heartbreaking.There always comes a point of saturation when you had enough and can’t hold onto the pain in the relationship and let it go

  5. One sided expectation, one sided love, one sided hope is very painful. Even I think if we expect honestly something from God, He gives at least some percentage. But human beings are of surprising nature. We got hurt for being ignored and neglected by human beings only.
