When Love Is Over

When love is over.

Weather the quick cutting of a tight cord

Or the slow disintegration

Of something painfuly long

You reel and reel

Within yourself.



And when love is over.

And  the phone is unhooked.

Only then, do you notice

The depth of silence.



You leaving me

Was like someone

Coming up to me

And slapping my face.



I did not react.

I still have not reacted.

I will go on in this life

With a stinging face

Numb and unaffected.
