It hurts no more

It hurts no more
Just a dull ache in your heart
A choking in your throat
You know the feeling will pass
Ease away with tears
It hurts no more
When you're ‘comfortably numb’.

Once more

Deafening sound
Acrid smell
Mangled bodies
Anguished voices
Shattered glass
A slipper here a bag there
Scurrying feet
Smell of fear
Once more ....

Ode to you

Each day when I am alone, I close my eyes and try to feel your embrace, now that you are one with the universe. I could not mourn your death as I was completely caught up in my own life. You were my friend, my comfort, a beautiful part of my childhood. You gave me selflessly. You never judged me and you taught me well. You were an inspiration - not only to me but to so many. I will forever remember and cherish each and every of those glorious moments spent at your place. I cannot ever thank you enough for touching my life.

How can you suffer in silence and yet crave for freedom ?

Overheard

Father : Everyone makes mistake. It is a part of human nature. No one is perfect. Only God is perfect.

Son: So what's wrong with wanting to be God?

You left

You left
Before I could you meet you once more
Before I could hear from you all that I ever wanted to
Before I could plant a kiss on your forehead one last time
Before I could hold you tight to feel the familiar warmth of your love
Before I could once more be soothed by the touch of your loving hands
Before I could get myself together and grab a chance to say one last goodbye
