POEM

This is the first poem that I'm posting on my blog....lets see what comes out of it.


You left me,
So cold, so freezing, so brittle,
That it hurt to touch.
My heart all open & friendly once.
Is now a solid mass,
Frozen solid and cold, cold, like ……..death.

Nobody to touch & love & caress
Nobody to fondle & care for…
So busy & tired,
Up & down between the jobs.

Nobody to tend to a scraped knee,
Nobody to cure heartache,
But I have lived, lived through it all.

Shielding my heart lest it breaks again,
It is fragile, one whiff can break it.
Break it and blow it……into a thousand pieces.
Ruthlessly picked up by the winds.

And then you came
And it was like the coming of spring,
My cold heart started thawing,
A little by little.
But then when you left,
It grew sharp needles of ice,
Which hurt & bit & poked.

So now I’ll not let it thaw,
For there is no sunshine,
No spring to warm it again.
But I have lived, lived through it all.
……. lived through it all.

I wrote this when I thought I couldn't live without Mayur, but when I look at myself now and all that I have learnt and achieved, without him.....I feel that I'm much much better off without him.
