Ātmāchārītā


The first time I met you
You only cried,
I loved you, gave you the warmth you were
Looking for.
You grew up, in my lap, amongst my trees,
Below my clouds.
You loved me, gave me the warmth I was
Looking for with your broad smile.

We had the perfect bonding, you and me.
Or I thought so?

You really grew up, tagged a 'teen'.
Heard people with
Improperly built up brain,
Say a word or two
And you broke away from me
Didn't you?
My shelters are alone
The sky cries.

Do you despise me so much?
Am I now a burden to you now?

Or you think you are to me?

Like a snap of two fingers
Our bond broke.
You listened to others
Didn't bother about me.
Starting packing.

Ever wondered what will I do?
You are my hope, my future, my star.
You can't leave me alone
Please don't?

I promise no matter what everyone think

Throughout your life,
I will love you, give you the warmth you are Looking for.
