THE ENDLESS WAIT...

THE ENDLESS WAIT...

Dark wintry night

too foggy outside

still she went

to the river bank....

Every night she awaits

his return...

or just a piece of word from him....

at very same place where he left her..

with promises of his return

she waits , she waits till the midnight..

till the time her lamps burn out

till the time her hopes die..

and then she goes back

with her heart full of pain

she stays up all night

remembering the old times

sitting in an empty room

where only her

longing to feel love lurks

loved by him ...

sometimes she cries

all the time she hides

her feelings and her true desires

she smiles through her pain

she smiles through her tears

she smiles and she laughs

as if nothing's wrong

all day long

for the one's she loves

and for the one's who love her

and as the night approaches

she revives her hope and

rekindle the fire...

and gathers all her

courage and strength

to go to the bank again

and go through the same old pain

Sometimes he sends a letter

some love wrapped in it

but somehow a strange pain

she feels ...

in the words of the letter sent

not her own

but of the one she loves

she tries to find

tries to search the reasons

of this never ending pain

but the search is always futile

because he is far far away ..thousands of mile..

sometimes all she wants to do is hold him tight

take all the pain away

sometimes she feels she lacks somewhere

and she feels he completes her

and for now and forever

all she wants is his happiness....
