LEAD A LONELY LIFE
It isn't possible to forget the morn I found my
Pretty Lotus dying,
It haunts, it pains and it gives me millions of
sorrowful crying.
She collapsed in the shower and I brought her
to our bed,
I pulled her gently to me and kissed her sweet
forehead.
All my training of first aid failed and I could
not save her,
The paramedics arrived on time but could not
do anything for her.
I looked at her and she told me that her time
had come to depart,
As if she was asking me to say my last
goodbye with my heart.
How could I do this injustice to my love so I
followed the ambulance?
She was wrapped with life support but I
couldn't bear that glance.
She was my Pretty Lotus, my life that I had
learnt to love dearly,
Now she was ready to depart and nothing
more could be done clearly.
I strolled the passage way of the emergency
centre like a mad man,
I prayed to every heavenly power to spare her
soul for this poor man.
Life is such when the time comes no one can
stop our departure,
I could hear my darling crying but it was the
wind of gesture.
The message came and we had to agree to let
her go forever,
She wanted to rest in peace and leave us for
her new world forever.
I closed my eyes and asked for sometime alone
with my love,
I spoke to her softly but do not know if she
made any move.
She was gone and I was left alone as lonely as
the lonesome man,
My heart, my body and my soul all ready to
finish my time span.
I existed but only in thought and with
memories of my loved one,
My beloved was gone; my life got cold and I was
left all alone.
My misery was all that remained; the dark
clouds covered my life,
My guiding light was gone and I mourned the
passing of my wife.
My beloved departed and had no more pain to
endure and suffer,
I was left behind with many questions and
whole life to suffer.
I am now longing to bring back all the fond
memories of my wife,
But it's all in vain when your love is no more
and I lead a lonely life.
