Just Call Me Lonesome! Poem by Umasree Raghunath

Just call me lonesome from now on!
I pray my memories at last
will fade into the distant past
If I must live and love alone
Just call me lonesome from now on.

Almost you fell in love with me
Almost you were friend to be
But each promise that was made
you have broken and betrayed

You left me as a faded memory
almost, my precious dreams came true
almost, you whispered I do
But someone new came by!

You left me home to cry
Oh! how close we were almost
Almost, your heart I did possess,
almost, you brought me happiness

But my dreams have not come true
and there is nothing left to do
oh, how close we were almost
but silence between our hears is too hard, almost!
