Dad

Replaying the memories on a loop that you want to erase from your mind?!

The death of your father in front of your eyes-

Well, what a haunted scene would it be to remind yourself from time to time,

You revisit those memories-

The scream,

The death stare-

The smile,

The death bed,

Over and over again,

In repetition,

In seclusion,

One thing you too desire-

To reflect the beaming light of peace like your father’s face did in his death time!

You left a damn big hole in my heart,

The void- that never can be filled-

With no amount of love-

It could be repaired,

In the ambiguity of love,

The debt couldn’t be repaid,

The starling that crossed your window-

Struck its wing way back!

Why don’t you believe in people anymore?! – Cause, I don’t want anyone to exploit my reason. How’s that like?!
