Why This? Poem by Abdul Basit Ismail

Why This?

Rating: 4.8


When your eyes were flooded.
I wiped the sorrow and agony.
When you needed me.
I stood up for you.
When you were falling.
I supported you.
When you lost hope.
I injected you with inspirations.
You got better.
When you were angry.
You got better by my fancy jokes.
I was the bridge you walked on to cross the success road.
I lost everything in the cause of supporting you.
Mother's love, father's love and family's love as a whole.
What did i do to deserve this?
Why are you turning your back?
You injected me with a vaccine.
I cannot revive from.
Why are you telling this bitter bile?
Why this?
