Love LostA Poem by Charu Charms Its a love story... A Tragic one.
The wind was
blowing, the sun was hot I looked all around, for someone I sought Someone I carried in my heart for long Someone whose voice was a love song…
It was so long ago, the first time we met That I don’t seem to remember, yes, I forget. But I know we were little kids back then We became best friends, I don’t know when..
But those little things didn’t matter anymore I loved him so much ever since I was four. More than a decade now, I’ve managed to tell What he was for me, for him what I felt.
And gosh! I couldn’t believe my own ears Cause now after all these long years He tells me over the phone me loved me too He wanted to see me, and his love's nothing but
true.
So I waited there under the blazing sun The wind blowing hard, little kids having fun. My eyes keen to see once again his face But what seemed like the first time, ‘cause things
had really changed.
I saw him coming with his friends across the lane Talking and laughing, going insane. The wait was over, everything is so fine Just seconds to go, and he’s mine in no time.
His friends never noticed, as his eyes met mine They never suspected, when he asked for some time And sneaked out, all ready to embrace me I was eager too, I bet he could see.
Our eyes were still locked as he crossed the street “BE CAREFUL”, I said; but my voice was too weak For him to hear me; I bet he didn’t ‘cause then the whole world changed in a blink…
He was still crossing, the traffic was high And then, all of a sudden, I was blinded by a light I saw nothing, I couldn’t focus my eye But I heard… I heard HIS PAINFUL CRY…
My
heart shattered, as my eyes gained control Blood
raced through my veins, I lost my soul I
screamed, I ran, I fell on my knees Beside
whom once full of life had been. His
beautiful body now seemed out of place Agony
showed on his once cheerful face His
once white shirt had turned dark red And
only got darker with the tears I shed.
I
took him on my lap and screamed for help I
held him tight, hoping to give him some strength As
I looked into his angelic bloodshot eyes I
realised… I realised he had very little time…
He
was fighting, fighting between death and life He
was struggling to keep open his eyes He
looked at me, only at me He
wanted to speak, but he was getting too weak.
“It’s
okay. You’ll be fine”, I cried in his ear But
I knew I was wrong, it was way too clear. He
just looked at me, he too knew I was lying He
knew too… he had very little time…
“I…”,
he had managed to say When
somebody came and stopped him halfway With
her fingers his wrist she gently held Then
looked at me, and shook her head.
I
trembled as I looked at him again His
eyes half closed, body writhing in pain And
then… his eyes closed, he became calm and still, But
only after he said… “I LOVE YOU… I ALWAYS WILL…” © 2013 Charu CharmsFeatured Review
