My friend!

As the kids say in the advertisement

My bestttt friend!

But;

He left a twinge in my heart

Before he departed

He gave no sign of no-return!

I sit in my terrace alone

Feeling that loneliness

A deep inside silence

That he left on my surroundings

That he wounded on my heart

Still aching and not able to come to terms

Not able to reconcile my self;

The vacant chair before me

Revives my pain in my heart

The silence in the ambience

Fears my feelings further

The sounds generated by my family and my pet

Makes no consolation makes no concession

My family is around taking care of me

Getting my coffee getting my supper

On time on demand

But I sit in my chair

Staring at stars!

Finishing small after large after small and on!

But some vacuum feeling is squeezing my heart

Some frustration some helplessness

Is chasing me from dawn to dusk

That vacant chair before me!

Causing pain in my heart

Those were the evenings

We spent moments of

Sharing laughing politics

Current affairs, movies and families!

Wealth and health!

He too was irresponsible

He left that pain in my heart

He left such a vacuum for all

He ought to have taken care of his heart
but
he allowed it to block;
and left a pain in our hearts! for ever!
