Vestigial Love

Written by Posted on Less than 0 min read

I you so wish
You can take away all,
What is mine.
Knowledge earned over years,
Identity of sheer hard work,
Social status today I enjoy,
Then there is always some
Amount of wealth and fortune.

But please don’t ever ask
To share my memories and pain,
Which are not mine.
I am just a trustee.
It’s the vestigial love
Of a short but intense fairy-tale
Which on departure, she left behind
And I had to live with it
In my memories as endless pain.
