Far Away

FAR AWAY    
                   
                     I had to observe as you walked away
                              far away.
                   I had to bear my tears flowing in opulence.     
                    Tried to forget you and my ardent ardor 
                      Tried to transcend disgrace of my love. 

                    Your disrespect crushed my yearnings
                     I wept over years with weeping willow.
                     Wounded heart yelled and yelled
                   Tears soaked my pillow on sleepless nights.

           Could not recollect when heart turned hard and inert
            Tears withered way, slowly and slowly I forgot my love.
            Days passed by chasing my shock far away.
              Incidentally we met haply.
       Reminiscences from chasm of broken heart burst in tears
                though I had left you far away
