Tears

Tears

Tears Tears Tears

Tears of joy, tears of happiness

Tears of sorrow, tears of anger

And tears of separation

I tried to be strong

But they came along anyway

I told her not to cry

While myself failing in the attempt

I could not even hug her

For I  knew the dam will break

I bid her goodbye and turned away.

Told her to take care

In a voice that came out distorted

For I was unable to barricade them.

I could see all the extra love,

Which the vast container of her heart

Proved insufficient to hold,

Pouring down her cheeks silently

And without any conscious command

My hands came out trying to contain all of it

But my attempt was fruitless

For I knew it was an endless manufacturing.

Instead I turned away and

Sat in the car

Rolling down the windshield

I looked at her

While her loving hand

Patted my head

Giving me her uncountable silent blessings

Every New beginning of my life

Has seen me praying to God

But this beginning, to which

All my life’s new beginnings

Were just a stop ,

This beginning saw me praying for her instead.

And even now while I try to stop ruining this page

I know my gran will always be the

most beloved in my life

As I will be for her.

Now Just waiting for the day to end

For I know they haven’t.

They just seek the cover of a blanket.

Love you bibi.. [as I call her]
