When I Was Dying. Poem by Prakash Mehra

When I Was Dying.

Rating: 4.5


When I was dying, and dealing with the angel of death.
You disappeared, and didn’t turn back.
What were you waiting for, perhaps, my final breath!

Weren’t you aware of severity; didn’t you catch the growing bane?
Yet you let me die, and broke the cord.
Why did you leave me in silence, when I was in hyper pain!

What if I died, I didn’t let die my loyalty and your belief.
Though I was in a fast moving death track,
I could hold my promise to inform you before I leave!

Though you are guilty, I pray to God to bless you and forgive you.
But I am no saint, so again, I pray to Lord,
Give me strength to never rely on you and to never forgive you!

I give you the strength to rebuke the one that gave you the strength to free yourself from me P.M., and as A.R.T or any reflective teaching I would say this is an angry child, but account for the autism, and then again I was made to be a walking pin cushion, I just always hated needles

What a touching lines? ? ? Weren’t you aware of severity; didn’t you catch the growing bane? Yet you let me die, and broke the cord. Why did you leave me in silence, when I was in hyper pain! Mehra. Your poem touched my sentiment. So simple...so soothing. Keep it up.

Yes, I like this Prakesh. Thank you. (I try to steer clear of poems about God, alot of people on this site get very upset, and send rude emails! ! ! ! And they are usually very poor poets anyway! ! !)
