Gagan Gill Poet Free verse

She Will Come Back

She will return in her body
She will need him
Like sins, like virtues.

At some unknown place,
In some unknown room,
She will love him in her heart.

As if walking in a dream,
She will go there,
Uninvited without a reason.

All within herself,
For centuries she’ll sit there
Where the dreams wait
To go crazy in desires.

She will need him
Like a dream
That she saw
Only with her open eyes,

As if he were a shoulder
To lean on to cry.
As if wanting someone is a curse,
An unending wailing
Or a dialogue with self,
She will need him.

As if needing someone is preserving happiness
And keeping sorrow at a distance,
She will need him.

As if it is an incurable malady,
As if it is to get out of a sorcerer’s spell,
She will need him.

She will need him
Like a sin,
Like a virtue
And will return in her body

Like a hidden wound.
