Friends Who Parted Away Poem by Umasree Raghunath

They are not there with me,
Yet I feel them beside me
I know, they do not love me,
Yet, I feel, their love for me
They will never forgive me,
Yet I cannot digest it to be
True that they for me
Are gone for ever
Not letting me disclose the truth ever
Memories are hard to fade
For me in life they gave solace
Gave me happiness to share
And support to fair
Well in needs, deeds and thoughts
Their betrayal, sorry, separations facts
Made me alone and peace less
Again the same old loneliness
Same old restlessness
Same old escape
Anyway absolutely with regrets
I am trying to forget though
It can all be never past
And memories will not fade fast
I love you my dear friends
For you showed me what
Happiness in life could be
The hurt you gave me
Is quite less in volume
When compared to the
Love I got from you
That is why I am still
Longing for your love
At the most depressed state of affairs,
I hurt you people a lot
I did not know then that my behavior
Will let me fall for ever in
Thirst for a true friendship
I can never forgive my ownership
Deep and intimate we went to life’s depths
With our combined thoughts and speech
So is why I find hard myself
Not to find anyone else
As friends other than you
Memories of college days
Our friendship and fights
Bye from now, to my departed friends
