When I am not there... (a poem)


When the visage fades away
the words die down,
memories gather dust
and I waste away;
then, my dear
remember me...
Just a stray thought
in your heart’s lonely corner,
and loneliness will go away.
I would cherish that one corner
in your heart
for a while,
then to disappear
may be forever...

Very very beautiful. The loving heart only requests to be noticed once and when acknowledged is ready to sacrifice itself for the happiness of the loved one.

Hi! Amrit,

Beautiful lines...
staying for a while in ones hearts corner & disappearing is more painful...
as u said memories gather dust, but some memories are always fresh as we do recollect them quite often,... never letting them to dust....
