A gentle goodbye!!

Once again the night has come

to haunt me of what they tell

There is no one who walk with you

Not to heaven and nowhere to hell

As their words echo in my ears

like a sword piercing my heart

Once I was the apple of their eyes

But like shadows are things of past

So I have left my world behind

and lie here with no strings attached

As free as a bird I might feel sometimes

But can branches and roots be matched?

Img courtesy here

Beyond reasons are those I truly love

I remember with eyes full of tears

Dawns I spend full of smiles and hopes

Dusk brings to me a platter full of fears

Strange are the ways of time, I often ponder

The word stranger is strange in many ways

When your kin leaves you like a stranger 

while the stranger becomes the one who stays

I ask, who is mine and whom I to anyone?

Nobody can forever here dwell

There is no one who can walk with me

Not to heaven and nowhere to hell..

Alone I came, alone I shall go

I no longer hence cry

Forgive and forget the pains I endure

To memories I bid a gentle goodbye!!
