How does it feel

A Poem by iffi malik

somebody asked me once
how does it feel
to have all life's joy
serenity and bliss
when this was catechized
i paid little attention
was busy enjoying life
never extolled the heavens
for the blessings i had
realized what really mattered
when i had nothing left

somebody asked me once
how does it feel
to have it all ripped away
i have now realised
thats the worst kind of pain
they say its good to have been loved at once than not at all
but once you know the meaning
it hurts when the memories are recalled

sometime later i asked myself
would things go back to the way they were
or would it stay just this bad
this feeling of being abandon
in my heart and in my head
i can only pray for the long lost peace
for this storm to subside
for that i might find my solace
and at last shed those tear that i hide
