Words of a Stranger

I saw a stranger with no emotions
His face not showing any reaction,
No gesture of simple recognition
Or even paying an ample amount of attention...

The stranger did not say anything
But through cold air touching my skin,
I asked him
To at least hear what I was saying...

Standing heavily, I begun to whisper
And told a story of a man I remember.
The man I once knew and loved
The man who left and promised to come back.

I said I've missed him so much,
That I've always hoped he'll be back.
I waited for a long time.
But he returned without telling me he's still mine...

The man I love turned into a total stranger
From a face full of happiness and laughter,
I looked at him without those dimples in his cheeks
No more jokes, only silent words, only plain face...

I told him I still love him, that I need him,
But he didn't even move a bit.
I waited for him to answer my questions,
But I failed to meet his response.

My tears then fell with heavy loads of water.
My heart felt pain like it was stabbed million of times by a dagger
Watching him, I wished he'd speak out what he had written.
But I knew, his silence won't be broken anymore, forever,

For the man I love came back with a coffin
With a note in his palm saying,
"As what I've Promised,
I'll be back..."
