STUCK

by Amrita Singh   Jan 10, 2018


As I step to move on,
I was resisted by our faded love.
I was haunted because your shadow is following me.
I was perplexed with our sweet-bitter memories.
I was afraid of how it would be to let you go.
I was tired of holding you in my heart for so long.

I was lost in the dilemma of your coming back to me.
I was guilty of not being enough for you.
But then
I was hopeful too, to find myself again.

    Amrita, I was hopeful too that I would definitely read one of your poems again. Finally the wait is over!

    From the structure of the poem it really seems that you have stepped on as far as poetry is concerned.
    It looks fresh because I never read something with structure like this before.

    There aren't any stanzas, just some random lines or better I should say steps telling us to find ourselves once again if we ever get lost in the perplexity of a game called love.
    Each line has its own saying but somehow together give a good start and a better end to the poem.

    Content is as good as your previous one. Poem is but obvious about lost love.
    Once we lost in this game it's not easy to recover from this difficult situation or to hold the bittersweet memories of this experience in our heart for too long. If this poem about your experience with love, I am more than happy to know that you found yourself once again.

    Call it a puzzle, a dilemma, or any other horrendous thing. The truth is that love is tempting and it's not easy to forget its taste or colors even if it gets faded with time because its shadow follows us almost everywhere like a ghost.

    All the best!
