When words spread like wildfire
And burnt our love in its presence
Like the hot tar on a newly paved road
It soldered our bitterness into existence
Led us to exit through river of tears
I tried to listen to a thousand voices
For a closure, ignoring my fears
Every advice, every thought
To my heart which alone bears
Went in vain, numbed us
The time to choose nears
I had no option, thus
I chose peace amidst tears.
