Will it be the same- Arundoti Roy

Will it be the same

Now that you are gone?

Will you come to the door to greet me

Like you used to before?

Will your heart cry again

When I get hurt?

Will you smile again

If you see me peeking through the door?

Will it be the same

Now that you are gone?

Will you hold my hand tight

Like you used to before?

Will you stop my fall

When I stumble on this path that is life?

Will you be my anchor

When the tides are too high?

Will it be the same

Now that you are gone?

Will you still be there by my side

When the world is not?

Will you believe in me

When my judgement is cloudy and I doubt myself?

Will you wrap your arms around me

When everything goes down and the night is too scary?

Will it be the same

Now that you are gone?

Do you remember me

Like I do you?

Do you cry for me

Like I do for you?

Do you long to hold me in your arms

Like I do to be in yours?

This wound in my heart,

Gnashed so deep

That it keeps bleeding crimson,

The memories of you

Like alcohol being poured on the wound,

This pain, this hurt paralyzes me,

But I want it to keep bleeding yet,

Till the day you meet me on the other side

And hold me in your arms,

Then put your hand over my heart, and say-

"It's okay to be hurt".
