by Tokika Yepthomi
Today I wrote a poem for you
knitted each verse carefully and meticulously
So that it may whisper in your ears gracefully
And pierce through your heart like a poisoned arrow
Maybe the past was too deep and narrow
That you got stranded in your own tears
And you forgot to nurture your own happiness
Least they say first cut is the deepest
Maybe, never once did you realize
The world outside your window has a better view
While you were dreaming about the lost paradise
Maybe you forgot that after winter comes the gracious spring
When everything seems dark and cold
When the lights go off and you struggle to find your way back home
Remember that you’re never alone
For you’ll always have my shoulders to lean on.
