New year crept in this night,

no fireworks, like a small war breaking out;

but the war in my heart

goes on-

you have cut me out of your life,

as neat and precise as a surgeon would

in a delicate operation;

and be it pride, or prejudice, or being a woman-

I let you.

you never did let me know why-

why you stopped talking to me;

why you erased me from your life;

discarded like a revised sermon.

you left, but someone will arrive,

a force to be reckoned with,

nature abhors a vacuum,

i meet my fate.

you did not take my dreams from me,

they live on, despite you;

nor did you put out the candle in my heart

that i keep lit for you,

just in case.

that is all i have now,

that is all i am left with

just in case.
