angel

[Nikunj Bansal]

where art thou, o' Angel?

wipe my dry eyes,

make me smile.

have you forgotten me, dear angel?

lift me out of my slumber,

gift me some worthy life.

I don't deserve to live,

yet can't find a reason to kill it yet.

All I have is sorrow,

and guilt, and mind numbing loneliness.

Am I a girl, to cry so often?

Am I a childless woman,

an infertile woman, unable to create.

you flap your wings no more, why angel?

you lie there lifeless like me.

are you just a mirage, or a mirror to my soul?

I reached out to you, someday,

you asked me to take a leap of faith,

knowing fairly well, that I have no wings, no feet either.

Is trusting you a mistake?

Shouldn't I just kill myself?

You said it!
