Even if you come back
The whirlpool of emotions amidst the whims
Won’t settle down.
The unsettledness has clung to life
To the core
Grief has no rescue now
I am used to your absence.
Even if you come back
I can’t go back to my older version
That seems someone else now.
My love now resides in my agony
I must confess
I have made peace with sorrow
You come back to me or not
Makes no difference now
I will live and die in my grief.
