Was it worth realizing their worth,
when it was just not meant to be.
But still, i refuse to give them up,
because they are just too stubborn to leave me!
I raised them, i nurtured them,
i gave them time to grow.
i allowed them to die away or blossom or mature!
And all they did was – in my heart – to continue to glow.
ALAS! Now i think , its time to give them
the death they deserve – painful and slow!
It is not in fake heroism that i accept my fate with open arms,
there indeed is just no choice to move on with no qualms!

O MY FRIENDS!

Bless me with the courage to place my faith, yet again in my heart,
These feelings, it gives birth to, will invigorate you or rip you apart!
Hold me, caress me, cajole me, Allow me not to break!
Teach me to feel the warmth of my feelings, and
Not the Destruction in their wake!!
