WHY ME!!!!!!!! I had always thought that We shared a lovely bond Full of love and warmth… Always giggling at small things Making our days so bright Often wondering as to Why the moon rises As we needed to part ways We two were inseparable Like milk and honey Each enjoying the other’s presence Even in silence… Though there were times We spoke no word… But felt we had communicated What our hearts wanted to say….. Perhaps time was waiting for The opportune moment And destiny had the last laugh And we had to part our ways… But we still continued our banter Through messages And our hearts spoke a lot Though we were miles apart…. Slowly she had come into my heart And made it her abode… Without each realizing The truth of the same……… Alas, few words uttered in jest Caused the hearts to break, Difficult to mend again Nor heal the same…. When the truth hit on my face That I could no more talk to her Nor see her, nor message her The pain started to seep in….. Lost my enthusiasm, A vague pain engulfing me A listless expression Not knowing what to do… Days passed mechanically Giving way to torturing evenings Waiting for the never coming call As hot tears streamed down my eyes…. Umpteen messages nor calls Fail to evoke any response; Feel like the whole world is shut Without any light at the end… Cursing myself for the insensitive remark But the other part saying What is a friend if she cannot Understand me and my heart…… Is showering one’s love on the other Is a show of an emotional bonding? The words accused on me……. Had a stinging effect…. Causing the raw wound To form blisters…. Not able to see reason Nor comprehend the same…. Why is it I am always misunderstood? Am I such a difficult person….? That I cannot shower my love On others unconditionally……… These questions tormenting me Again and again; day in & day out…. Ripping me apart…….. Oh my my…. Why me?
Dear Lalitha ma'am, How are you? Seeing a lovely poem from you after a long time..... The poem touched my heart ma'am....with your chosen words....:hatsoff:hatsoff:thumbsup
Thanks a ton Bhargavi. I am fine.... how about you? Nice to know that the peom touched your heart ... thanks a lot dear... this means a lot to me.
That was good to read Lalitha. Most often we take our dear ones for granted and expect a lot from them. Just when we realize that we have hurt them in one way or other [after they distance themselves from us], we brood over. Thanks. -rgs
hi lalita.. its heart touching.. after reading your lines i remember a saying"It hurts to death when our care and tears are misunderstood as disturbance".
