Day-8 NAPOWRIMO-2021
Prompt: A monologue.
I remember that day clearly
The last day of your life
You woke up early,
Asked me to make some black tea
I got busy preparing for exams
You got busy reading a newspaper
And then the clocked chimed
We got ready to face the routine life
You went your way to work
I went to crack the examination board
I never imagined in my wildest dream
It is going to be the last day together
The contours of your swarthy face
Still make my heart ache
The death of the prime minister
Took a piece of your existence
How thin and fragile you looked
After two months of life threatening break
Hope beamed and you stood tall
You said " Everything is going to be fine"
I believed in your wise words
You couldn't have thought then
Your words would echo in the empty air
Within a few hours after you uttered them
What I least expected happened
Death snatched you away without any call
A heart bleed with deep sadness
No words could express the ache you left
There were chaos all around
The hungry mouths cried without a sound
Silence greeted them every day and night
They waited eagerly for your footsteps
To bring a smile on their faces
Don't you think it was too selfish!
To leave a bunch of teenagers
Stranded and fend for themselves...
