Waiting…

a poem by Madhura Dabholkar

Cold air touch my body
my soul can feel its peck
I wait for you to feel the same
but you don’t come and alone I am left.

I look around and see the path
in hope to see your smiling face
a pain strikes my mind
I remember you have left me and gone away.

I lie on the green grass
it soothes me from head to toe
everything around stands still
as the beautiful breeze blow.

I still wait for you each day
I wish to hold you tight
my love, you have gone forever
with no reason and no fight.

My heart feels the agony
I am left all alone here
the path we walked together
you walked off and
broke the promise to adhere.

My love I weep and cry
just come back to me
my heart suffers each moment
God release me from this pain
end this waiting and make me free.
