(A)
The moon's far away, the stars are distant too
How do I comfort myself that I'm with you
Things have changed, life's not the same
No use of sulking, no one to blame
The wind is still blowing, the sun still sets
My clouded mind, peculiar thought nets
Some tears, some scars, some memories blue
Happy moments, black bitterness and you
Time heals all, sun shines again
Rainbow decides to dance, after the rain
But why is the rain not stopping, not leaving
Why am I still sulky, busy grieving
Is it so easy to let go, to forget
How do I bury my frightening regret
How do I hide up my pain, my tears
Fight my demons, conquer my fears
How do I say every time I'm fine
How do I get back what once was mine
This Eid I wish for no clothes, bangles, smiles
I just want to see you, its been a while
My eyes had been searching you, eagerly
My mind had been dreaming you, crazily
Can you come back and hug me tight once again
Can you show me your face, wipe my tear stains
No courage to dress up, twirl like a princess
It was only you, who appreciated my mess
Who looked at me like a lovely lucky girl
Who treated me like a precious pearl
But now that you're gone, farther than stars
It is only me, this pain and some nasty scars.

Author's note: This is an old piece and I've been thinking hard whether to post this one or not. But, today is the day. The day that brought a lot of darkness, one year back. Close relatives call it as 'one year' while i feel it as 'one decade'. It is my grand mother's first death anniversary.
The purpose of mentioning (A) is to tell that there is another part waiting to be read. Unlike this one it is full of hope. Please, make sure to read both (A) and (B). Your support is what motivated me to publish this. Thank you so much.
