Without a husband or Wife, Nobody could happily survive

I left Bangalore leaving my ailing wife bed-ridden

Disabled, speechless, struggling for breath often

My presence was her only confidence and strength

To be by the side her for all the hours at length

But with our utmost bad luck, I had to leave her alone

Keeping her in despair, making her body and mind torn

What could I do more for her wellness, and benefit?

I, myself am crippled, handicapped, and physically unfit

Coming back home, apart from each other and alone

Became an isolated existence, shocked, and mourn

I lament my dear, after our marriage life of 38 years

We are forced to separate; my eyes outburst in tears

I feel at every step of my walks and, at every breath

My wife beautified my life with essence and a wreath

Without her, I have, in my life no pleasure, no passion

I often outburst the cry; am I proceeding to depression
