I Cannot Remember When Last I Felt Alive. I Am Tired. So Terribly Tired.

when the lovers lose love,

and it does happen-

it’ll be slow.

he will stop doing the little things,

she will stop caring as much.

she will convince herself that she’s fighting for herself,

and soon realize she has been fighting for him.

when the lovers lose love,

the people around them will be confused.

“you seemed so happy”

“what happened?”

“are you okay?”

when the lovers lose love,

she will cry herself to sleep.

she will second guess her decisions.

she will continue down the path of losing herself completely.

when the lovers lose love,

he will make excuses for the things he did,

he will sit alone and try to figure out a plan to grab her attention,

he’ll think of how it use to be.

when the lovers lose love,

it is sad.

but it gets better.

when the lovers lose love,

and it does happen-

it’ll be slow.

হে দেবী, বিজয়া কল্যানি, মধুর আখিয়া

দিয়া চাইও, মরুভূমির সে ঠায়ের থেকে।

বঙ্গ জুরিয়া না, জনাকি উজ্জ্বল কীরণ

দিব আর্তির ঠালোয়ে। বিধাতা নয়নি,

বিজয়া কল্যানি, প্রসাদ এ লয়ো নিয়ে॥

— "বিজয়া" (২০২১)
