The Purple Heart


He’s the boy who survived,
And the dead lullaby.

He's the Purple Heart,
And the lopsided smile.

He’s the colors in grey,
And the prayers in white.

He's the quiet of the noisy mess,
And the song on a silent road.

He's the summer I'll never forget,
And the night I can’t remember.

He's the silence of the words unsaid,
And the echo of my loud thoughts.

He's the memory of the bonfire,
The half story of this broken poem.



- Sayantani Sarkar.
