Love Me The Same Poem by Ritu Shah

She closed her eyes
and took a deep breath.
In my heart I knew
She will not wake up again

She had filled my heart
With her sacred love,
But they said
there was tiny hole in hers’.

I prayed,
I cried,
I bowed,
I tried,
I strived to change
Something destined.

She didn’t weep
She didn’t wail
She knew whatever is destined
No one can change
It didn’t even fade
The brilliance in her eyes
For she knew
She was going close to Thy

I was almost lost
She kept me strong
I attempted to care
She asked me to dare
All she placed
Was just one small request
‘Honey as long as I live
Please love me the same’

Last night
I held her close
She lied in my lap
Our fingers crossed
She looked at me
As she looked the first time
My heart sank
This shouldn’t be our last night

Her glossy skin
Her bright eyes
Her soft lips
Her divine smile
I still find her
As pretty as ever
Nothing will separate us
Neither the earth
Nor the heaven

She had smiled in my arms
A few seconds back
‘I love u very much’
Was her last sentence

She closed her eyes
and took a deep breathe
In my heart I knew
She will not wake up again
