Until the End
They vowed to share their life
Cherished their love to each other
Happily they journeyed together
On the same route
Then he started to lag behind
Gradually and unintentionally
Their tracks split
He became a straggler
Staggered in a muddy field
Leading to nowhere
Eventually the door for him
To reach outside was shut
He turned non-communicable
And sank back to his rudimentary stage
She continued to irrigate
His barren inner land
Her solitary love
Accompanied him until the end
