INTRUSIVE
A
mute witness observed very closely,
Found
solace in your presence a lot,
Instrumental,
your encouragement.
I
could rebuild my life from downfall,
Frustration
shadowy covered mind,
Depressed felt very lonely befriends,
Wanted
to trust someone reliable too,
Betrayed
by own blood and kin, sadly,
Opening
my heart loved at first sight,
I
know you have different aspirations,
Uniting
in life inconceivable understood,
Your
ambition a mission in life differed,
We
parted, promised to be close friends,
Later
part of life, I found great solace,
In
testing times, troubled and clueless.
You
listened to owes hours late at night,
Your
crisp pointed solutions inspired,
Invaluable
gains strength to face dawns,
Never
I became intrusive to your life,
You
were as if a mirror watching me,
Where
are your images virtual,
It answers me, always when I inquiry,
Knows
to telephone only to talk,
Never
asked you to see each other,
Discuss
our lives, exchanging facts,
That
was a promise you left the country,
The
story is unique in both trust,
It
was after midnight you called me,
That
was the call from you surprised,
You
are coming home with the child to meet,
Requested
to be the caretaker if not adopted,
Continued
not to ask further waited,
Know
we trust, for a long, I assured you,
You
met me later, handed over her,
Shining
eyes probing me, willing to stay,
The
dot between eyebrows and bangles,
Missing
noticeable, your black hairs,
She
didn't answer and fled silently abruptly,
Blocked
her in front, curious and concerned,
Angry
rudely, I retort, neither you nor her,
Stay
with me, do not allow you both,
Pulled
her with the girl to my home,
Sat
near to her and told her, never tonight ask,
Have
dinner, sleep well both,
Tomorrow
we shall decide on future actions,
One
question, you are not married yet,
I
confirmed, single and unmarried.
Why
I retort, you are intrusive,
Obeyed
me, had dinner, both slept,
The
next day, I took them, adopted the girl,
Declared
to court as her father signed,
Pale
was my friend's face, hold,
She
signed as her mother, born abroad,
Her
journey abroad for a higher degree,
Her
daughter is the result of the relationship,
The
co-student got married and fled,
Orphaned
my deed, never forgiven,
The
next day we both got court marriage,
Manicured
her forehead with vermilion,
Gold
bangles inserted into slim hands,
She
was crying, sobbing silently.
