A poem from Samita CHATTOPADHYAY (Bengal,India) : HEY TRUTH !

Hey truth!

You have made me lonely...

I'm walking alone

On an untrodden path...

I sing a song,

The tune of which

Never enters their ear...

Each n' every step

Brings me closer to you

N' far away from them...

Hey truth!

I know

I'll die like this

On an unknown land...

No one would be with me at that time...

But you,

My only friend,

Promise me,

You'll be there with me

Till my last breath leaves me...

Promise me

You'll close my eyes finally...
