Sack Of Memories

By Sushma Odugoudar

From the sack of my memories I try to find

Something wrong you had once said or done

Or a promise that you ever failed to fulfill

From the sack of my memories I try to find

A day that you failed to make smile

Or used a word unkind that made me cry

From the sack of my memories I try to find

The lack of gentleness to wipe my tears

Or any act that showed that you didn’t care

From the sack of my memories I try to find

A walk where you forgot to hold my hands

Or at least a moment where you left me lonely

From the sack of my memories I try to find

If you had ever said someday you’ll be gone

Leaving me behind sad and alone

From the sack of my memories I try to find

If ever I had asked for a life without you

That neither had a purpose nor a meaning to live

From the sack of my memories

I tried really hard but failed to find

A reason that would help me forget you

Before I forget myself and refuse to live
