Left

~ Megha's World

How much is the plight of a person being left out in a relationship?
How deeply it scrapes our heart when the person you entrusted the most betrays you and leaves you when you needed them the most.Being left alone and not cared too much by the people around you, who weave your web of life, is heart-wrenching.

I really wonder why I'm left behind

why I'm not dragged along 

like the rest

Why nobody turned back to see

when I stumbled

why nobody cared enough

 
Why everybody kept walking

with their backs turned towards me

why nobody saw my footsteps

when it stopped making the prints

next to the walking society

 
Why the dust trail of the wheels

kept rolling along my side

people looked, glanced and left

and nobody gave hands to help

or even to try


I wonder why I'm left behind

with the whole caravan passing by

I started with them as big family

and now I'm becoming

a load, too heavy to try

 
My feet are wounded 

and my soul is tired

my voice is weak

my gut wrenching pain

is too hard to bear

nothing seems to quench my thirst

while I'm choked on tears


I wonder why I'm left behind

I'm taking my last few breaths

all I'm left with 

are my tears rolling down in dust

 
I wonder why I'm left behind

why I'm not dragged along 

by the mere people

I trust.

I’m a mother of a smart and energetic seven-year-old. I started expressing myself creatively since the last two years. Since then I have been continuously inspired by events in my life and around me which has helped me in penning my thoughts. I’m an avid reader, loves to sing, an ardent lover of poetry and sometimes can scribble few lines too. Loves to dance in the rain, have an undying love for nature, can watch the beautiful sunset for hours. Love to kiss and hug my loved ones. I have worked in the IT field for almost a decade as a manager, worked crazy hours and traveled around the world. In that busy schedule, I never got the time to creatively express my thoughts. Now every time I finish a poem, free verse anything it fills me with so much happiness and excitement and a feeling to have created something of my own. I’m planning to post at least one creation of mine weekly. Lastly, a million thanks to all who visit, like or follow my tiny bits of creation. Every time you do that, I get to know one more beautiful person in my life and get the chance to see their creation too.
