9) For All The Vows....(Pranbir)

For all the vows of love they had taken
Of being in love till eternity
Of being by and for each other
Of being each other's destiny

For all the words of love they had uttered
Assuring a lifetime of company
For all the moments of bliss they shared
A togetherness in harmony

For all the talks they had of future
Of their own family
For all the stolen glances at each other
For all those fond memories

For all of it and more
They chose not to fight this battle anymore
Tired was she of pushing him away
Tired was he of her stubbornness
Tired were they of this world so evil
Tired were they of the sacrifices made for the devil

Their hearts ripped in anguish
Shattered beyond repair
Their eyes which once held the warmth of love
Were now tinged with despair
Their souls seeking the other
Striving to heal and hold on
Pain in its zenith embraced them
Apart they sat forlorn

But how long could they survive
She holding onto her sacrifice
He holding on to the ashes of his burnt dreams
How long could they remain
Oblivious to their vows?
How long could they remain
Uncaring about their love?
How long could they see
Their pure bond breaking to ruins?
How long could they bear
Embarking on "new beginnings"?

Love a force above all
Which holds the reins of destiny
For whatever's written in the book of fate
It holds the power to rewrite it
Unable to hold on any longer
To flimsy threads and false beliefs
They let go to be themselves
To change the course,make it their destiny
The love they held within themselves
Finally did succeed
Even as they embraced
The storms and soothing breeze
Together they stood high
Getting past their agonies
For they shall heal each other with time
Now they had to fight to make it their story

Nothing else mattered to them
Courtesies and manners long forgone
For the ones who strived to push them apart
Their covers of decency and purity were blown
Not heeding to regrets of the ones whom they once called own
They moved away to live
Their story on their own!

Today if you ask them they shall say
It was after all just a phase
For love isn't all blooms and roses
But through thorns they have paved their way
Holding hands with smiles bright
They look a serene sight
Having finally conquered the storms!

Love,
Pratyusha
