Wish i said...

A confession that should be made...

                                                Wish I could confess…

Five years and three months,
I was in bed since then,
Neither did my legs shake,
Nor my fingers;
The rolling of my eyes
Was the only movement
I could do…

I couldn’t sleep in pain
I was aged just
Two more than a score,
But cried internally
As if I was aged
Two less than a decade..

Finally my cry was heard,
And now I could walk
Speak to others
And hear about me from others…
I could see myself
Lying in plasters from head to toe..

The four eyes
Two of my mother’s
Which didn’t move from me
When I was lying down..
I used to talk to her
Through eyes,
Wanted to say her
To go and have rest
But alas! Words play better..
I wanted to stop her
From shedding more tears
But alas! Actions play better…
I wanted to kiss her
Say her sorry
For not listening to her
Millions of times,
For not taking care of her
When she actually needed,
I wanted to say her
‘I love you Maa,’
But alas! My words couldn’t reach her..

Other two eyes were
Of my super-father,
Though he didn’t stick his eyes
On me throughout,
But he kept assured
I had the best of all
Even in my dead-living state..
He always held his head high
For having a proud child
Hiding behind all his tears
Since long, when I was in bed,
But burst out now
When I was being carried away..
I wanted to hug him,
Honor him for all teachings
He taught me,
But alas! Time didn’t really wait..                              (To be continued)
