Catacombs
You remember the day
Two clueless decided to start a life.
A life full of hopes and togetherness.
You took my hands on yours
Promised to never leave them.
To walk a lifetime holding on.
Through thick and thin.
Crossing rivers and desserts.
Now when your hands slipped away.
Left me searching that warmth on mine
You left me under the pouring rain.
All alone !!!!!
My love , you know where you left me
On to a group of destrained people.
Today , the imprints of our bond
They snatched away from my neck.
Saying you passed away.
Your emotions cant stay along mine.
All your belongings were burned to ashes.
They are not mere clothes to me.
Those had your smell and sweat.
This poor soul cried and shouted.
How can they understand
They scratched my soul to bleed.
myself to be your living graveyard.
Weeping and crying
But having no rights anymore.
Hiding in your shade for years
The heat outside was not so sharp.
You know ,all are praising you now.
Even those who never understood you.
We always wished our tiny home
To be filled by friends and family.
Look now ,only you are missing.
Decided to travel together all around
How could you forget me
In this longest journey.
Just a word, i would have ran along.
