Loved and left

a poem by Madhura Dabholkar

I walk through the crowded road
I still feel lonely
Hither fither I look for you
I find isolation only.

I am alone in this big bad world
Nobody to be with
Unfamiliar faces I see around
Only you I wish to meet.

Why was I loved and abandoned.
I ask this question to you
I hear no reply
I know it’s false or is it true…

You have gone too far
You have found new love
Happy you are but sad I feel.

My heart ponders in agony
You are rejoiced and blissed
I pray grief and sorrow for you
A heart you broke
You will never find peace.

I can’t wish love and joy for you
My heart doesn’t permit
You crushed my faith
You shattered my dreams
I lost the love
For whom I still wait.
