Breaking free
As I crossed the crowded street today
I thought maybe you would come my way
I felt a spark engulfing my inner being
That reminded me of stories
I used to keep on reading.
The dark room with no one beside
Whispered ample tales of bad aside
I held on to my pillow as the last resort
Imagining that to be my loyal consort.
I waited for the dawn to show up soon
And remain with me till late afternoon
But the sun used to set without my consent
I tried to plead but it would not relent.
The scary wind and the deadly thoughts
Mortified me in midst of patchy knots
The more I tried to break free
I got entwined in a treacherous spree
Prayers healed my mind at last
I met someone like you kind and steadfast
You held my failing hands tight
Assuring me that all was right.
I missed these hands for so many years
Men like you are so very scarce
Thank God you came back again
And retraced my hitherto wayward steps
In the right lane.
