Loss

Original Submission by BARZA BATHOOL

Loss

How beautiful it was, those days Those childish us, always

When morning sun struck again How we wished time to flew away And now we wish to go back

But wishes are nothing but shells Filled with regrets, and nothing else And here I view my loss

My childhood, my golden days Even though loss is a terrible feel It makes us know, what life is

Cause we never cherish, the little things Unless we lose them, every single thing Loss itself has no feels

But, in everybody’s life, it lives
