An unaccomplished task...

Close my eyes and shut down life
But my thoughts drown me
My lips are sealed, there is silence all around
Yet the feeling tears me down.

There was bliss a moment back
Which was followed by an abyss

A snippet form "A Train To Pakistan" by Kushwant Singh

Not forever does the bulbul sing
In balmy shades of bowers,
Not forever lasts the spring
Not ever blossom flowers.
Not forever reigneth joy,
Sets the sun on days of bliss,
Friendship not forever last,
They know not life, who know not this.
