Everybody Leaves

Every human is born as a single entity Without emotional ties, feelings or an identity Relations and feelings are achieved in the home and hearth Soon after the cry signals the miracle of birth But no man is an island, as they say Everyone in your life holds sway To the way you are, and the decisions you take And one gets encumbered by connections, real and fake In the world of relations, there is a hierarchy That regulates behaviour, preventing anarchy And on top of the pyramid soaring like a dove Is an extremely complex bond called Love The bond of love I had for you Shaped the way I am, my world and it's hue For you I lived, and let my life go by And it broke my heart when you took to the sky Did you forget how I sat by your bed When the world had left you for dead I fed you and nurtured you to health But you were lured away,I guess, by nature's wealth I loved you, so I had to set you free And I understand why you had to leave me Because whether filled with love or brimming with hate Every relation has an expiration date
