Emergency Ward Bed No 5

Emergency ward, Bed no. 05 By - Ahmad Rayees I found her lamenting in agony on the bed Like a hunted bird with broken wings Her frail body was trembling in shudder That Innocent girl Couldn't take the tremors of betrayal Her soul was gripped in pain and disbelief As though that devil has stolen her soul and dreams She was shocked to know that she is been abandoned And Shivering like the lamb in a thorny bush Without escape As her cries pierced through me and,I was in distress When I approached her, she was numb and anxious She wanted to share her pain only to me among others, But I was afraid to break the wall of her loved ones I looked at her eyes, and she looked at mine We both were sailing through a different timescape But she was stranger to me as I was to her, As I tried to console her eyes with my angst eyes The teary veil fell apart and those eyes became calm She was stranger to me as I was to her And I walked away through the corridor, I walked away tormented and desolated Knowing that we stood a pole apart She is restless and I was helpless she was stranger to me as I was to her .
