Stay

By Samvritha Sudhakar

I miss your sweet, mischievous smiles,

Miss your voice singing my name,

Intriguingly staring into your fish eyes -

So raw and wild, uneasy to tame,

Sharing jokes, cracking up hard,

Your hobby of pulling my leg.

Our warm, subtle memories, I miss.

Unfathomable plead throttles me - "Stay", I beg.

Slowly slipping away,

Through the cracks of your cold embrace.

Alone, my tears falling,

Your fingers' fantom wiping them away.

My heart is aching...

Stay!
