A tear rolled down my eye…

a poem by Aarti Raheja

Last night thinking of you
A tear rolled out my eye
Though I was not able to figure out
What possibly the reason could be

My mind was wandering
Unnecessary thoughts surrounding it
But I felt helpless
For no one to share this feeling with me

All of a sudden my heart sank
Negative feelings making me emotional
A thought ran my mind
To be left alone in this so called beautiful world

Made a promise to myself
Thought to give it a name of compromise
And again with a deep ache in my heart
I began to cry

Thought where is life leading me
Or rather where am I leading my life
A chilly feel again
A simple question to ask
Will I be happy ever like I was before
Or am I capable enough now to make others happy
