My Lost Smile

The day when you said, “Goodbye,”

my eyes looked like a cloudy sky.

A sky that fiercely burns and showers...

A sky that rains for hours and hours...

You, with a smile, bid me adieu.

But I kept waiting for you.

Pale I look like a dried leaf.
Bitter I've become because of grief.

Ups and downs, oh God, waver me on my ways.

Curves of my path appear like a scary maze.

For so long, I've kept shedding tears

 that I've settled down with my fears.

But, what I am doing is not apt.

At dealing with life, I have to be adept.

Even at nights, one can see moon shining,

just as every cloud has a silver lining.

For making things all right,

I have to get up and fight.

By the nectar of ecstasy, I will be drenched.

My thirst for smile will soon be quenched.
