My life

quote:"We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.
Orson Welles"

until then i bade goodbye   
left family with wet eyes   
new realm to study in USA   
hopes were high in all our hearts   

Until then time was fleeting   
months passed fast becoming years   
finally after long time  
got warm hugs from family   
 
finally I meet a girl 
got married I had to leave 
after long six long months wait 
saw her happy face again  

she went to see her parents   
felt home sick living alone 
there she died of heart attack    
hoping to unite our souls

Oh, it's terrible to end this way. It scares me to think of life incomplete. I am sorry that you were not close by.

Oh my, this is such an emotive poem... Carefully describing the journey of many hearts which traverse through the obligations and responsibilities of life, in search of love, then realising the ultimate truths... You've so poignantly described one's life and that tragic ending really creates an ache in the soul. What are we without love and without those precious moments lived with our loved ones, I wonder... A solemn jueju, impeccably done! - Regards ~
