Nightmares

I don’t see dreams anymore

I see only nightmares

Ever since, you left me

Alone in this world

I am scared to lie on bed

Unless I am that sleepy

As all I think is about you

When I lay alone

As you was my only support

I wasn’t able to sleep many a days

As your memories refused me to get away

And left me in tears

Felt guilty that, I wasn’t able to save you

As you closed your eyes, for the last time

After gasping for the last breath of air

In a desperate attempt to survive

But shores of safety of hospital

Was little too far

By the time, I got a vehicle to take you there

You left me for a new world

I saw you struggling for survival

Many a night

In different scenarios

Where I kept running

In search of avenues to save you

Never once, I succeeded

As I struggled for long,

My friend taught me meditation

Somehow, I caught some sleep there after

Every night

Then trained myself to tire my soul

To get good sleep

But once in a while

I wake up shocked

Seeing another nightmare
