Where Are You? Poem by Sanya Zahid

You used to stop me from leaving
When I sat and cry in your lap. Saying goodbye
I never knew it will be the last sight or that feeling and left here with grieve and sighs
I closed my eyes and never looked behind
Because I knew if I would you’ll be left here in my mind
Now you’re gone
Pooling us, in our own tears
Still my thoughts scream beneath like you’re here with me
You never were gone and you never left
I know you’re here
Somewhere near
Don’t leave us sighing in our tears
We can’t now even share
As you said
But hearts weep inside
For others care
I know you’re here
Somewhere near
This time I won’t let go
Because this time I know
You’re not staying
It’s up,
You’re gone
