False promise

Mohan Pillai

When he promised to come
I waited for him at home.
But nothing heard for long
I doubted where does he belong
Still I am waiting for him at home.

I wish if we keep the time
Every one save a lot of time
With out wasting the energy
That invested in agony
To deal with the pressure to rhyme.
