Years Later

Years later I decided to pay a visit To the old dilapidated house The house which was once a home A place that defined happiness and bliss The roads had changed It was difficult to recollect Somehow I managed to reach the lane To my surprise, nothing had changed there I completely forgot myself And turned into that girl of 12 again Memories flashed in as a lightening And my tears filled eyes just gazed around The same broken boundary, The pruned hedge was now a mini jungle The windows were covered with webs The floor covered in dust I just touched the wall The same one where I scribbled all day long Was now all chapped But it still smelled of crayons The rooms seemed to talk to me Talking about the long forgotten days Of the good times spent there And each sobbing night I lay awake I wish that had not happened I wish the house didn't remind me of the days The days I spent with dad The only times I spent with him On reaching the courtyard I could imagine the doomsday I imagined dad's corpse as it was Ready for the last ceremonies That was the last week we spent there Leaving behind those 12 years we walked away For we couldn't stay there anymore And now I was here, reliving those memories Again YEARS LATER....
