Left alone

a poem by Babu V V

Oh! Dear why did you go away?
Was it inevitable?
I did not resist,
Because I knew, I would find it futile.
You solace me when I was in distress.
You were my sponsor when I was bankrupt.
You led me when I was stranded.
Now whom should I quarrel?
Whom should I argue?
Who will accompany me in my journey?
Who will water my garden?
Who will feed my lovebirds?
My heart is tinkling.
My stomach is cramping.
My eyes are wet, tears rolling down.
My legs are trembling.
I could not walk straight.
I am looking into the nothingness.
I feel I have none to love and to be loved.
How loneliness it is?
I know nothing is perpetual.
The mountain will disappear.
The sea will vanish.
However, why did you leave me?
I feel I am left alone.
