I have this uncanny talent

I can read between the lines

I feel your intense anger

like explosive landmines

You’re suave and chivalrous

Controlling all your ire

One wrong move on my part

May start a raging fire

Your pregnant silence says it all

That everything is lost

I look beyond my sharp vision

And see memory’s past ghost

So all hope is gone away

There is vacuum in my heart

I am stunned and quiet

My world is being torn apart

I loved you unconditionally

Was it just a one way traffic

Why saga of true love must

Have ending that is tragic
