End Of School And Us
End Of School And Us
The wishes on our fingers
Spoken through the silly jokes
And booming laughter
Drops of our dreams shared
Between your nails to me
Friends forever, and ever
Mealtime secrets to gossips
Shared on the lunches along
With our dry chapatis,
The promises of till deaths
Do us part, always and other
Such kind, with pinkies,
Suddenly, one day the
School is over, and dear friend,
You and me, where are we?
The world with its sharp claws
And bottomless stomach ready
To swallow me inside
I am so afraid,
I am all alone
But where are you, now?
Sometimes I smell you in
My skin, you smile
Skittering along my bones
And then there is only
Emptiness and the static
In my aching ears
The bench with our names
Carved on in its surface
Is weeping with our old stories
The greeting card in my hand,
Sometimes I read the lie
In the and cry
Oh, one day the school
is over, but why did you make sure
Our friendship is over too?
