My Grandma's Words Poem by Sumann Dutta

Silently the old age has caught up with me,
I remember only my past clearly.
Who are they surrounding me?
A herd, a cluster, my family?

Only my childhood memories are my own.
And the bits and pieces of my imagination.
Except for them I feel bitterly alone,
Though these people tell me they are my relation.

Now I am waiting for me to leave
Don't bind me with these bonds anymore.
I have to go on my own now,
So, just let me live in your memories evermore.
