Coming Back

These days when I’m by myself

When I am all alone

As much as I try not to, I

Remember when you were gone ….

‘Twas only just the other day

When you had dropped the bomb

Left behind a bewildered me

Consigned to a deep, dark tomb.

With every inhalation

My insides burnt in flame

And every time I breathed out

My lungs whispered your name ….

I dared not look ahead,

There was nothing to see

When solace I, sought from the past

It seemed cruelly empty !

Since then you have come back my love,

Drawn by my agony

You are with me and yet I ask

“Did you come back for me ?”

I know of your virtual needs,

“Love is not enough” you say

And since love is all I have, I wonder –

“Have you come to stay ?”
