Coming back by Anupreet Kaur

[anupreettttt]

After having you again 

I still do not have you 

Even after being cuddled 

By you every night 

I still can’t sleep 

The flowers you brought me 

The day you came back 

Are almost dead

Did you change or did your heart ?

Coz our beats don’t rhyme anymore 

And you didn’t even water plants 

Even when it’s your turn

Do you want them to die just like me ?

They aren’t selfish to come back again 

But I’ll be dumb to first mourn and  then let in.

Your poem is so emotionally charged and there are some very lovely, meaningful, and intensely felt lines that will, I know, resonate with anyone who reads your poem.  I particularly liked “Did you change or did your heart?”  And also, the very simple but important line “And you didn’t even water the plants” because I took “plants” to be a metaphor for your relationship, for you.  Well done, Susan
