Will You Cry If I Die? Poem by Jay P Narain

Will you cry if I die?
die I must, more inevitable than I was born,
Born in night, I did cry,
cry, that was the sound of joy.

Joy of birth then, now the joy of death,
death will bring a closure to the miseries of life,
life spent in survival, always striving to pay the bills,
Bills from now will be someone else's headache.

Headache I get reflecting on my past life,
life was full of thrill and agonizing moments,
Moments of love and affection I cherished,
cherished not, the death is lurking by my side.

Side by side, my love, we spent our life,
life with ambitions and lust has come to a close,
close by you, when I die, you smile with tearful eyes,
eyes that I will adore, saying goodbye with heart full of love.
