53 Sweet Inside I Was Poem by Athul KrishnaA

53 Sweet Inside I Was

Rating: 4.4


Sweet inside I was
When young was my age
In heir hands, all children
Of the world wished me
And one day one of theirs
Wish came true
And shocking me, suddenly
Tore me apart
And ate all my insides
Like a lion does to a deer
In me, when nothing was left
Used me to wrap a rock
And threw me away
Into a river
And all the way to
The bottom went I
Years passed and
This day I celebrate
My hundredth birthday
Under the waters
Of this never to
Dried up river............
