THE BLACKOUT

The sun rays hit my face

Brightening it even more

For it was gonna be the happiest day of my life 

For it was something that I would treasure until my death

Wore my Saree

Braided my hair

Adorned the flowers 

And shiny ornaments

I looked beautiful 

I looked different

Today I would be moving into a new house

Which will become my home till my days end

Unfamiliar and different 

But I was happy

My life was simple before

Then he appeared from nowhere

And made me a lot more happier

And  we fell in love

Everything was good

I stood in front of my mirror

Waiting for my mom to call me

The door flew open

My mom stood there with tears in her eyes

Behind her came all of them

Who were my family

All had  sad looks on their faces

Told me I can't get married today

It was annoying

I shouted and cried 

They told me He will never come back 

He was taken away from me

And I stood there 

as my world crumbled down

I couldn't do anything about it

Time froze

Everything was at a standstill

I heard different voices 

My vision blurred

I saw yellow lights

Then blackness hugged me

I saw him

His handsome face,

his beautiful eyes, 

His gorgeous smile 

Kept moving away from me

My life lost its colour

My colorful life was now black

 my bright face was  now pale 

My eyes were now sunken

Spent days sitting in the house

Which was meant to be ours

Thinking about everything 

 My life was changed forever

I was never gonna be  same
