Because I Lived You.... Poem by Bhawana Bhowmik

I saw a body one day,
Lying lifelessly in the pool, from my balcony.
I saw expensive Jewelry on it, but nobody cared for it.
I saw real good clothes on it, but were serving no purpose of hiding it.
I wondered who is it?
Saw no one around to worry, no one but me a stranger standing in my Balcony.
I saw a life ended in a lonely moment, none of the possessions could get it back it's dignity.
Living it was a mother, a daughter and so many other things, but now it was just a body.

I wondered where is the love that surrounded it in life.
What about the relations she was intertwined throughout her journey.
I wondered where is her dignity?

Strangers struggling to pull her out, not a single emotion.
but struggle to just get her out of public view.
She was moved shortly and so was I deep inside me.

I wish to have my dignity in death.
No matter about how and when.
If one soul loved me in life show me the love in death.
That will be my dignity and a life.
