We were travelling
in a bus,
And then I woke up
In a Hospital Bed.
Head and legs,
swathed in Bandages,
I did my damnedest
to speak up,
And ask my folks
around me,
Where is You?
Seeing me, the Folks
said, 'Don't strain your neck,
Its not healed yet!'
I was a film without
a tape,
Completely blank-
shattered!
Knew something very
wrong,
Yet folks didn’t say
a thing.
I had lost my
voice, but that was nothing,
All I was worried
about was,
'Where is you?'
Everything was
lugubrious,
Every one was
tearful,
I was guessing what
happened,
And started to cry
within.
I was at the best
moment of my life,
And now, I was dumb,
with broken leg,
And my heart already
pushed the daisies.
I wished it was me,
and fought against life.
Imagine, how I felt
watching the corpse of beloved,
Will you have
reasons to live?
Yet, I had one
reason to live, You!
I asked, "will
you fall in love with this dumb me again?
And you answered;
" Even if you were dumb, limbless,
I will love you always."
I said, "Why
should I live instead of you?"
"What will I do
without you?"
"What am I
without you?"
You smiled at me,
and said,
"You shall live
for me, for you, and for us,
You will live to
fulfill the dreams we shared,
You will be you,
without me,
And my soul will
always be with you"
And so you vanished,
Yet years later,
When I falter, when
I deviate from our dreams,
And when I complain
about life,
Its you who makes me
realize the misjudge,
You may be
dissatisfied, idiotic,
Yet, complaining
wasn’t (y)our thing,
No matter the
distress, you always smiled,
And taught me to
love the fragments of life,
Bitter, Boring and
yet somehow awesome life, that I have.
Its Awesome because,
it has your soul in it,
My life has been the
treasure you left behind,
I so wish, it was
the opposite, everyday of life,
For no matter how
many years, you will always be with me,
Yesterday, today and
forever… Anamika!
