REMEMBRANCE

Ha!

I can't believe.

It's three years since your departure

When you left us no choice but to let you go

Tell me

How can I forget

The picture of your last existence

The memory of you that rings in my mind

The voices of weeping and great mourning of you

That day, Yes that day

You put on the veil between your body and soul

 I saw how you danced to the tune of the drum of death

How you draw her closer just to bid her farewell

How you made them believe you went to the market;the one you never came back from

I saw the lost of hope in surviving that emits from your eyes

I remembered I cried my eyes out begging God for a miracle

For another chance.

To fulfill all your funny promises

I guess I didn't pray enough.

Of course you appeared thrice, talking to me in parables

And for the fourth time you promise never appear again.

Seriously I can't withstand your image,

because I still can't believe you are gone.

How I wish you had survived.
