కవితా సంపుటి

The silence grew louder,
yet her heart refused to drift from his thoughts…

She rewrote the message again
longer, softer,
emptying herself one last time.

And suddenly,
the screen went dark,
timed out by silence.

In the reflection,
she noticed her own eyes
barely visible,
heavy with unshed grief,
until one lone tear broke free
and flowed like a quiet river.

She left the message unsent.

If love demanded this
endless explanations,
begging to be understood,
fighting for the bare minimum,
screamed only in silence

SHE DIDN’T WANT IT.

She believes…
love is not something one can ask for.

In any place,
any moment,
any relationship
it must arrive on its own, shown, not requested…
