Aloof

“Alone”-the word that always used to make me scare,

Didn’t know with time, that is what I’ll have to bear,

Loneliness is all that is there around me,

Memories are, with a full swing, on flee,

No-one is there who can share or care,

Sense of belongingness, has become something rare,

With all new faces and all new places,

Life is running thru its different races,

Looking back at the time, when we were all together,

I regret, for not being able to let them know how much they matter,

Now that the time has gone by,

I’m running into some questions as ‘Why’,

Why so much pain and loneliness?

Where is the sense of belongingness?

Why all this meeting and parting?

Why is my heart aching?

But as usual with no answers to this quest,

To the Almighty, here is my request,

I understand what happened, has happened for the best,

But please give me the strength to stand through this time of test!
