I witnessed the radiance on your face
When eyes were glittering
As if you found some magic
I witnessed the tears that you shed
When all the people you once loved
Left you,
side by side
And you were faced with utter resentment
I saw you surfacing again
Restoring the faith
Back in humanity
When after so many years
You found one human being
In crowd of inhuman masses
I saw you terrifying on tough roads
But I saw you taking cautions too
I saw your beliefs to the world falling apart
And I saw you molding your beliefs too
I saw your hopes torn into pieces
But I saw you holding scattered piece
And moving on
I saw you pouring out your tiredness right before me
Staring into my eyes for hours and hours
Trying to open the knot in words
setting them free
And I saw you falling down
I spied on you getting up
I noticed your downfall again
But re rise wasn't out of sight too
But today
After so many years
When you are done with all the years
Decreed for you
You are sitting in front of me
Holding a flower
With some petals spread across
And showing me gratitude
For all those years
I had been with you
I have a Question for you
Come closer to me
And look into my eyes
Deep down
What do you find?
Old brags of happiness?
Spots of faded pain?
Or the tiredness in wrinkles of eyes?
Failing to find any of the above things
I felt my heart drowning
Coz realization was cruel
Coz none of it mattered now
So none of it did I find in eyes
This Mirror,
That claimed to witness my every moment spoke
Who are you?
I don't recognize you!
With this, it broke off.
And set me free
My entire self set me free
in my last moments
To deal with me
on my own
Flower, that I was holding
Fell off!
And So were the breathes.
