Diminished to an Excuse



How did this happen?


You were a living breathing soul, 
full of yearnings, 
and unfulfilled desires,
with wants and dreams
both mundane and fantastic.
Never missed your serials, 
Always made everyone comfortable, 
Forever concerned about 
everyone's well being.
Curious like a child,
wanted to know everything
that happened around you. 


And just like that
you shrank within yourself
pushed out the dreams
shooed away the desires
severed connections
breathed your last
turned into ashes
disappeared 
into the raging waters, 
diminished to an excuse.



A feast every day in your name

"Sorry, I couldn't meet you last week, my paati passed away so I had to be at home"


How did this happen?
