Mamta Agarwal - When Love Is Dead

When love is dead
You move to separate beds.
You try to be polite
And ignore every slight.

When love is dead
You just nod your head,
Without paying attention
To what your partner mentions.

When love is dead
Although you share bread,
And live under the same roof
You do your best to remain aloof.

When love is dead
it becomes easy to shed,
any kind of pretence
as now it makes no sense.

When love is dead
A lot is left unsaid,
Why doesn’t any one make
A complete break?

Maybe like worn out shoes
You are too lazy to break the status quo.
