Her Side Poem by Ollisia Shasha M

There she was..
Her back was firm.
But actually, she..
What was she thinking?

She stood still,
Without no word to be said,
But then, as if to say to me,
'Looks like..I've made up my mind.'

I could only gaze to that silhouette.
I could only stare..
I wanted to reach her,
But I know if I wasn't strong enough,
I'll be dragged down for sure.

So then I decided to walk away,
And left her alone
Until the time she will be able to move on.

Years passed by,
And her shadow kept on holding stubbornly in my memory.
That strong, yet fragile shoulders
With all those amount of weight.

'Who will stay by her side? '
That one simple question
Will not leave me alone in peace.

What should I do?
I can only wait for her.
But when?
..For how long?

Will her eyes ever shine brightly again?
Since they have almost lost their light.

When will it stop?
Her suffer?
When?

Now it's all about time.
Let's discuss about time.
The rabbit was late,
And mad hatter's out of cakes.

The world has gone mad, for sure.
And I couldn't do anything..
No..
To be frank,
I chose not to do anything.

If I were to touch that fragile girl..
What will be of her?
Will she crumble?
Just by imagining,
I can feel goosebumps all over.

But then,
I cannot wait forever either,
can I?

And so, I decided.
Before regret came soon after,
I'll protect those which are precious to me.
To protect whatever is precious to her..

That's why, I will hold that hand without any doubt.
I will not leave her side anymore.
I will..
'I will protect you.'

So that the tears she held,
All the pain..
Can go away.
And we can step bravely towards the bright future.
Once again,
Together.
