Darkness

When the darkness intensifies,
you grope and search for light.
When these eyes of mine fail to see,
the pain I’m causing thee.
When memory lacks and senses dull,
watery eyes refuse to let go.
Face is turned to hide the pain,
somewhere it strikes a chord.
Memory returns and senses are cursed,
heart connects and sorrow is felt.
The kohl-rimmed eyes then cry a river,
for it's hurtful,
to be reminded of the truth yet again,
never been able to escape.
Eyes lack and heart falters,
a drop of dew changes the course of life.
