The Blank Noise

The rains lashed against the window
While the darkness seeped over the town like a black shroud.
Between the roars of the sky,
I saw you leaving,
And I knew it was to never return. Behind you, were the joyful memories
That had once engulfed me with happiness,
But my heart didn’t yearn for them anymore.
And though your smell still lingered around,
I couldn’t feel the warmth of your hug anymore.

And as the rains lashed against the window
A blank noise filled my ears,
And I failed to trace the echo of your laughter.
And now that the song of your footsteps had died for long,
I was left with my new found solitude
Where you were just a stranger I never knew.
