When It Ends- Sarvajeet D Chandra
There will be
No fights over dozens of calls
No social posts alluding to disputes
No doors bolted, no food left cold
No sullen nights, no coldish days
No rushing out of the car in a huff
No solitary walk in rain, wet and wintry
No frumpy skeletons, out of the closet
No un-following, un-liking, un-loving
No scars to hide, no broken promises
No flurry of texts written and deleted
Nothing will be obligatory
Except
A look that is devoid of love
Lonely winter tree, devoid of birds
An empty look with no memories
Empty of monsoon songs, of spring
As if I had made you up in my head
A look you would give to an outlander
That will suffice.
