Prateek Dhungel - The Lamp Of Your Name

I speak of you,
it feels as if I am carving open
my own heart.

You were love—
but not an answer,
a question.

Without you, this world is a desolate graveyard,
where I am both alive
and buried.

They say love brings light,
but the lamp of your name
always gives darkness.

Once I thought, being apart from you
would bring peace…
Now I know—
peace, too, was a lie
just like you.\n\nPrateek Dhungel
