Life Is To Live And Not Just To Survive...

There was a time when I was in pain...
Time when everything was filled with disdain.
When the hardship of life proved too much to carry...
And the scenery of my life looked eerie.
When everything was covered in thorn...
And beautiful flowers were long gone.
Times when I was exceedingly depressed...
And the tears became impossible to suppress.

I stared at the ghastly dark at nights...
Imagining how far is the bright light.
Light that would sincerely shine upon me...
Making this gruesome dark to flee.
I crossed my fingers and hoped for a miracle...
Which would make my world tolerable.
I waited and waited but was left with pain...
And that was the moment when you came.

You showed me the positive side...
And became my sole guide.
Your eyes had an angel’s appeal...
But determination and confidence of steel.
You taught me to sail through the bad hour...
And fight the miseries with all the power.
You taught me to fight and endure...
And remained on my side to make it sure.
You taught me to love and smile...
And I forgot my past in a while.
When everything around looked gloomy...
You tied your hands around my heart and made my life bloomy.

I became complacent and stopped worrying...
By seeing my life prosper and flourishing.
I was as happy as I ever knew...
Then in that split second I lost you.
It was painful and heartbreaking to see you leave...
But now at least I could handle the grief.
I understood the fact that life has to carry on...
It was tough but somehow I moved on.
Seeing you drift away was like a nightmare come to life...
I miss you like hell but I never felt so alive.
In my endless dreams and infinite thoughts...
You were the one to bring me home when I was lost.
It was your compassion which taught me my love...
That life is to thrive and not just to survive.
