I am your wings. Though you cannot see me I will always be there by your side .I will hold u from falling down when u face heat and storms and will take you to your destination where your hopes and dreams lie!
I was a candle, one among millions. It was u who picked me out of the millions and lighted me up. I started burning out my life for u from then. I made u happier by melting out more and more and making myself brighter for u. I was the only companion for u in the darkness of ur loving heart and in the loneliness of ur gloomy world. I loved u so much that I made stars ur friends who would light up ur dark nights when I wasn’t there. But once u left me alone to see the world illuminated with the fake smiles of bulbs ,fluorescent lamps and lasers. U were lost in the mesmerizing effect of their appealing look that u forgot the stars who came for u those nights. They blinked their thousand eyes at u but ur eyes were filled with the artificial smiles of the dancing illuminations and u never saw them. I waited for u day and night without knowing that I lost the value in ur life. My heart was melting out with love for u but u were busy with ur new companions who made ur nights days and drained your light out of you. You never remembered the sincerity that I showed, to guide you in darkness without expecting anything from u, from when u possessed me. Now ,realizing that am useless in brightening ur life and making u happy and knowing that my life ,my love, which I wished to burn out for u is valueless, am going back as one among the millions , waiting to melt out for someone who needs me.
That first paragraph is awesome....
ReplyDeleteThis one is quite deep as well, Ammu!
ReplyDeleteTo me, the 3 paras seem distinct.
I read it a more than a few times. The last para is a sad one, but ends with a determination "to melt out for someone"..Quite profound. Like this philosophical one!
Thanku priyanka chechy...
