Love can never be defined,
But for me you gave it a meaning.
Watching television at home that night,
Didn’t know what soon is going to come to my sight.
Minutes later the door bell rang with a shock,
Saw my brother and aunt standing like a rock.
Tears in their eyes, towards me they darted,
With grief they announced my father had departed.
Soon I heard my sister screaming,
My heart and body were like water streaming.
He had left this world with heavy loads,
Now I had to walk alone on very different roads.
My eyes held hard the tears,
Maybe was stuck with all the worldly fears.
Could not imagine my mother’s face,
God why didn’t you give her some more grace
I couldn’t see him for the entire night,
He was to arrive by the morning light.
I saw the ambulance and heard its devil sound,
Within seconds everyone there was ready to hound.
I stayed back as much as I could,
Not ready to accept, till now what I should.
I soon saw my mother pale,
A boat that had no wish to sail
I was forced to eat and drink,
But the thoughts in my mind were not ready to shrink.
I sat beside him for a day and a half,
Like a cow would not leave the side of its calf.
He was kept on ice for the entire tenure,
While I felt like a field with no manure
My hand burnt while giving him fire,
Will never see him again in any attire,
It was the end of so many desires.
This is just the beginning part,
I’ll write till I empty my heart.
