“For better or for worse”
I paused,
“I am letting you go”.
“For better or for worse”
I paused,
“I am letting you go”.
Bracing myself, I grasped his hand in fear.
He clasped me tight in his arms, embracing me with love.
Loneliness was something everyone gifted me.
The gift which I dreaded the most.
I used to lament a lot.
But it turns out it is a gift not everyone can get.
I discern now it is the path to silence.
And silence is the language of the Souls.
I am ecstatic realising myself after all.
His arms were cold,
but his heart still warm.
The mother truly felt the beats
even though he was still born.
It took a moment to say ‘I love you’ but it took a lifetime to realise what true love was.
Happiness was when I toddled around, crying for my favourite candy, smiling
at every relative who came and went, munching the rolls of rice with curry mama gave me and dozing off with toys around, free of responsibilties.
I stared into the night
The stars seemed nigh
And they shined brighter
Like God was showering glitter trying to lull me,
For the tears I effused profusely
