Lonely

a poem by Manoj R Lulla

In our life we often meet many people everyday
Some we adore, for others we seldom care
And then certain incidents occur suddenly, to make you realise the truth
That we all are Lonely

We fall in Love, thank the Master of Heaven above
Blissfully dream of being together till eternity,
Before the one you’ve loved beyond all limits of insanity,
Actually tells you that there’s nothing in reality

We make friends to share our up’s and downs
They at first listen, try to understand but later frown
Can’t blame them as they have their limitations
And we finally pray for them to live up to their aspirations

Lonely at heart, lonely in life
This loneliness seems to be a blessing in disguise
It has opened my eyes and made me realise
That its just you and yourself with whom one has to suffice
