Nothing But Love



She wanted nothing but love

She desired nothing but love

She seeked nothing but love

Nothing, nothing but love.


She lived for him

Transforming to his ways

Was molding all her wax

To be his soul mate.


Her world was confined to him

But to her it was infinite

She often said it aloud:

“Me and my world, rest I don’t care about.”


But unfortunate winds blew

And times turned sour

Getting hold of a better plan

He excused himself to make a new start.


A myriad questions

Swelled up her tears

Not complaining the least

She thought the problem lied in her.


She lost her world

And was bidding goodbye to all

But now she too had to

Move on, move on…


Losing her soul

She had to be wise

And so embracing the heaven

She closed her eyes.


The boy there realizes his mistake

He then rushes back to apologize

Deciding he would hand himself to her

To punish him as badly as she feels like.


Picking up her favorite flowers

He reaches her home

Just to find her soulless body

Coming out of the door.



Devastated on his knees

He cries out aloud

Writhing for forgiveness

But the heartless girl, she would not speak out.


Seeing his girl in no mood of avenge

His penance, he himself decides

To live as a guilty man forever

And remember his ugly face till he dies.



50 years later, he sits in his courtyard

Remorsing a story bygone

“Once upon a time there lived a girl

Who asked nothing but love, nothing but love.”
