"Our Last Goodbye"
I couldn't say goodbye to you mom
As it was too late
I was pushed out of ICU
When your pulse went off that time,
I struggled through the staff
To come, to see you off once
But they didn't let me in
And when everything got silent
Along with your heartbeats,
They tied you as a body in a white sheet...
And i couldn't see you for last time ,
until you came home waiting to be cremated, to leave
Thou, i couldn't say you a last goodbye before you took your last breath
I exactly remember you waving me a goodbye ,
When you were laid on stretcher going for an operation second time in a week
I guess you already knew you won't stay long,
But i was adamant that you will come out fine
And this can't be our last goodbye,
But you proved me wrong by the end of day
I still remember you signaled one of our neighbour Mr. Vyas
That to don't let me cry
He assured you that he won't,
But you know promises are meant to be broken when you die
He was a outsider so it was natural
He said just for severity of time
The people who are related to me by blood or love ,
Even betrayed me
So how could I blame someone stranger to stay ,
firm on the words he said to a dying mother in no time..
Well i regret that we just got 20 years and 9 months of our time ,
When i dreamt of living with you till my grandchild arrive,
Not all wishes comes true,
Not all desires get fullfill by time,
No matter how hard we try to get complete and accomplished,
Something always remains incomplete and broken inside...
