I'M An Adopted Son Of Tears... Poem by Saravana Kumar

The first tear that came from my eyes, is still my best friend,
it consoles me whenever i feel like i have reached the end,
it gives me company whenever i feel lonely in the night,
once it comes out, like a feather my heart becomes light.

Sitting in darkness, every night i search for you in my tears,
they welcome my steps as i walk up and down the stairs,
like a haunted soul, i just wander about and sit on a chair,
as i close my eyes, my lips move to offer you another prayer.

So many dreams i had dreamt of being with you till the end,
living a life happily with you being my wife and best friend,
never did i wish to see a tear from your mesmerizing eyes,
i would do anything, even give up my life to end your cries.

With so much of love to give, i thought you will forever stay,
but all you did was to move away from me, only to betray,
though you stayed only for a while, you still hold control,
over my heart, and the love that lives deep within my soul.

Be it happiness or sadness, a tear is always there in my eye,
b'coz i still remember the day when you left me high and dry,
when i saw you for the very first time, out of joy i just cried,
when u left me alone, another tear rolled out and i just died.

Though you have abandoned me, you still live in my prayers,
the tear you left behind, consoles when no one else cares,
the pain of my broken heart has crippled me over the years,
still i don't feel alone anymore b'coz now 'I'm An Adopted Son Of Tears'
