Some Memories Of Life, I Have Lost- Poem by Ritu Shah

Some memories of life, I have lost -
the efforts I had put in I forgot.
The prayers I did to give it a start,
to win my love over several other hearts…

Like a fairy tale, once upon a time,
I wished you had be only mine.
I wanted to be the pearl of your eyes,
I believed it would suffice.
For all the joys and the pains,
together we will hold hands.
Who says it won’t work out?
On our love we will always be proud.
We left several relations behind-
part of family and some friends in line.
God did choose us to be in love
and I promise to stay with you forever…


Some memories of life, I have lost-
How madly in love with you I was
Oaths of love we swore to each other,
but surprisingly today I don’t bother.

Did I promise to stand in decisions you make?
Oh, possibly I said that by mistake.
It were you before the rest of the world -
but I just placed myself first
I couldn’t have imagined my life without you
Today, I have reasons to avoid you.
Were we to hold hands together,
but for the separate cities and their borders.
Sometimes, it just doesn’t work out
and why should I be the one to sort it out?
May be God wanted it that way
Everything I don’t do, I have Him to blame…

Some memories of life, I have lost-
Where I am and what did I want?
I think I am falling out of love
Just because my ego doesn’t let me surrender
I feel like forgetting everything and move ahead
For am too afraid to mend my mistakes.
May be you also have been waiting long
If I don’t realize, I’ll miss the shot.
