YOU-THE UNKNOWN

I am just confined to my room.

As if……

Certain pains have hugged me tightly,

And those pains are not letting me go….

 

I too want to free myself from their clutches.

As if……

Some unknown strength has hold me rigidly,

And that strength is not setting me free…..

 

What if……?

Had I forgotten you,

Life would have a different meaning.

 

But unfortunately……

I never moved on.

I had many choices,

But I chose to hold on.

I clinched to your memories,

As if…..

I have no alternative.

 

Though, I know …..

Things are not the same now,

Yet I keep on struggling to keep the things as they were yesterday.

 

I failed…..

And hopeless…

Yet I am living.

Perhaps, for an unknown cause!

 

Now, my only hope is…

YOU-the unknown.

 

YOU will surely come…

And YOU and only YOU will set me free …..

From the grasp of his cruel memories.
