Back-up

 

Suddenly the electricity goes away

The city is plunged into darkness.

Some cried fo “Back -up”

Ups went on.......

The city sparkled in light !

The power restored

Everyone forgot the “Back-up”

So am I !

Literally a “Back-up” for everything

Am I thinking too much of me?

Or it is fate to be always in the queue?

Let “Time” answer my question ...

or leave me behind to get rotten !

Struggling to hold my tears back

I turn around to see...

With a smile... She stands there....

A lightning ray of this “Back-up”
