Poem
(NOT) JUST ANOTHER PICTURE ON THE WALL You came into my life at a time I needed you most I was so lonely in a strange land I always dreamed of chasing the sunshine and butterflies But my world was now confined into a small space of four empty walls A little bundle of joy you were So beautiful, so pure, so sacred I screamed at you when you were naughty But, you didn't even peep a word back Just looked at me with those ruby red eyes Saying ' Mama', 'I love you anyway' And so the days started having so much meaning in them Laughter and happiness was felt all around The four empty walls were not empty anymore There was something to come back 'home' to I never considered it home anyway, until, you were there You taught me love in a special way You would not speak to me But with the expressions in your eyes You made me dance to your tune, ha ha The bond between us was beyond special Anger, love, sweetness, compassion, never hate, never You could melt even a stone hearted man Such was your nature and love for a human being You never complained, but yes, you were oh so demanding And I loved that! Because you taught me how to be responsible I hated leaving you behind and going away There was this empty feeling in my heart I would wait to run back home to you and see your precious face Hold you so close to my chest that we could hear each others hearts beating Such was our love. And then, one day, one fateful day It was just like any ordinary day But not for what was about to happen I let you go play outside in the garden And you came back distressed You were in some sort of pain but your silence confused me I took the situation for granted And instead of rushing you for medical help I waited till 4 PM that day Death has no warning And without a single sound You passed away. My angel darling little Pinky Rabbit So pure, so sacred, so beautiful in that spotless white immaculate coat of fur I know you are playing with the butterflies in paradise You are forever etched in my heart my love Until we meet again. Your pictures adorn those empty walls now This is not how an empty space should be filled But I need your presence all around me, my love So small you were in size, and yet such an enormous impact you had in my life No one will ever take your place my precious And you are not just another picture on the wall. Sleep well my darling.
