mere saare sukh tere...tere saare dukh mere...

I remember watching her on the bed,
her scars as deep as her emotions...
screaming loudly the very unspoken pain
that lies within her core somewhere...

remember saying this before leaving her,
as ironical as god has made our lives..
that what she wanted most in her life
was placed in my lap without asking...

remember her staring at her work
remember her not cryin as we leave to say goodbye
remember her setting my alarm
so that i didnt miss my flight...
when deep within she wanted i miss it...
wanted we cry our fears out loud...

materialistic i m she says...
where I have understood wats deep within her
she still hasnt...how fearful i have been
every time i have left...
friends family home and love
that may be this is destiny ...
that everytime i meet i have to remember to part..

that somethings in life u cant do alone
that some bitterness of people u cant take alone
that some changing attitudes
need that bumchum to bitch to...

as sick as i m today
i cant complain...
n it feels like god just never fails to listen to me
when i ask something for others..
that when u told me u were scared
that u would fall sick seeing me leave
as u did when u saw dad n mom leave
and i placed that copper idol
praying and wishing
all my happiness would be urs
and all ur pain would be mine...
if only for a night..
