The Venom of Loneliness

Loneliness is biting me like a cobra Its venom is killing me bit by bit Now I have become something like an animal I don’t take shower, wash my face and brush my teeth regularly It seems without you I will die like a street dog I don’t comb my hair, Put on clean outfits Go out for a walk and do any job I can’t concentrate on anything I no more like to write, dance and sing I spend sleepless nights like the rats and bats I fall asleep in the morning like night guards I startle hearing ring of my phone thinking it’s from you I keep on wondering why it’s happening to me more and more I am like a flower in a garden and you are like a butterfly I wait for you all day long day after day My beautiful petals fall one-by-one My sweet smell is carried away by rain and wind But you do not come, my beloved
