Poet: Bibin Radhakrishnan

Family, friends, relatives, lovers are all a name
Every relation is played like a game
Played to win, everytime you are on the field
Waiting to decide who is to leave and who is to stay

I don’t remember the last time I said “I love this life”
A distant memory it seems to be
For all those who have come into my life
None have moved my life like thee

I have left the scars of love behind
As, everyone has chosen their own destiny
None of them realizes that you don’t control it
But allow it to flow freely, like the sea

The journey teaches you to be better
But not without a batter
How to understand the paradox of life
The emotions only complicate

The bitterness that life imparts
Remains throughout
Finally, I realize what I have got
Just a six feet grave within your heart
