End is Near

Kavita Desai 1977 (Mumbai)



Why do we often cry
have you asked your self why

The roads are so long and wide
but there is no place to hide

You want to fly high
but you need wings to touch the sky

Loneliness is part of life
now i have no strength to compromise

Now I am alone and in tears
because i know the end is near
