Losing a friend

She wakes up each day promising to herself, that today she’ll embrace happiness,

Today will be a different day with no sadness.

But happiness just eludes her, as she ends each day with a new sorrow,

With tears accompanying her, leaving her lonely and hollow.

She walks down the never ending road all lonely,

Looking for people who can bring back her smile,

But never finding that one person she hopes for all this while.

It hurts her to smile every day,

To pretend that all is fine, she wanted things to be this way,

But inside she asks god to take her away to her hiding place,

Where she can cry her heart out, try and forget those happy days.

He was not her love but a true friend,

Who made her smile, their bond was pure, nothing to pretend.

But one day he just left her alone and vanished from her life,

Leaving her wounds to mend with time.

It’s not that it’s the end of the world for her,

Neither is she deprived of people to care for her.

But the excruciating pain is because of the sad realization,

She’s lost her dearest friend to an unknown situation.

She waits for him to call; she waits for him to say hi,

To see the same longing in his eyes as he can see in her eye.

She falls apart every night and tries to console her before every dawn,

But her pretence of happiness is of no use, her mate is gone.

Things have gone beyond repair,

Tomorrow for her is filled with despair.

She’s lost her concentration and her smile,

And he has new friends now oblivious to her condition all this while.

But girl, you have to be strong,

It’s not the end of the world; you have to find your life’s song.

Tune out the sad things, wipe out the memory,

Try and be happy , write a new story.
