Gone

I was just learning to tune myself.
I was just looking at the world with curiosity.
I had just heard the rattling of toys.
I just had a taste of chocolate.
How to clap... I was just learning that.
Why do I often fall in a hurry to run fast?
To understand this I was running again.
When I used to speak, everyone used to laugh. Why? This puzzle was just absurd.
I had just learned to stand up from my mother lap.
Who was a stranger. How do I know?
I thought every arm rising towards me was of love.
Love is in every eye. I just knew that.
Care and affection in every voice. I thought that.
There were some hand on my side that day too, i was happy thinking someone's taking me in their laps like papa used to.
I was thinking sometime I'll be with mommy again.
They will let me go after showing their love and affection towards me, that's what I thought.
As always for our gardens to bloom.
But why is there something different today?
Why are these arms tightening around me?
Something feels different.
The pressure on my throat is rising.
Now I want to cry, I want my mummy.
I do not want this love.
I do not want these arms.
I want my papa's arms.
I want to sit on my mummy's lap.
Leave me, mummy where r u?
Papa please come, i am feeling pain.
I cannot breathe.
Someone save me, someone please save me.
No one came to my rescue, no one was there to save me.
I couldn't do anything but cry.
I was innocent, impenetrable, unaware, alone.
I kept thrashing, trying to get out of the deadly grip.
But till my very last breath the grip was hard.
After this my eyes were taken out,
My legs were separated from my body,
My lifeless body was burned by acid.
I am gone now.
What? Is the world like this? Is love like this?
I am gone and i am never coming back.
