Why did u do it ?



Days as in spring and soothing nights of summer
So happily we spent the time caring for none
Happy we were, both of us
I to get a good friend and u to get a seasoned carer
As we moved on, our relationship strengthened
We grew close
I still remember, we used to cry together,
I for not getting what I deserve
N u for not being able to give what I deserve.
Hours together we cried.
U took me to your dark past
N i supported you to get the courage to face it.
Hand in hand we fought together ur past.

I got u ready for a new battle
A battle which was much red and dark than ur past
We practised for hours and I toiled to get u ready
All throughout you didnt resist
I shared the smile of your feeling stronger
I felt like the writer of your destiny
And I taught you and gave you everything
For the battle u were about to fight
The d-day came and u fought it with strength and courage

But returning wounded from the battle
You went to your camp to rest
And the rest was long
For the next few days I couldnt find u

After some days we met
And this time, it seemed
It wasnt the same u
U had changed and u no more seeked me
Thus it went on for some days
But who knew this was the silence before the storm

The day came, but I wasnt ready
Nor in mind, heart or soul
U faced me no more
U didnt reply to my cries
I lay there in the dry field
As u werent there even to lift me
I cried and cried and the dry field kept sucking my tears
As they were never there

I called the Lord to intervene
But He didnt
I keep crying and moaning
People started gathering and throwing stones at me
I didnt care
As I wanted to leave my physical limits
And return no more to this heartless world

As days dried out and nights grew colder
I remained there in the field waiting for you
My cries grew louder
But none heard to them
And suddenly I saw u there in the crowd
I looked at u with a thirsty heart
U looked at me as if I had sinned
And as u came closer
My heart pounded in anticipation of a hug
Ur hands moved down
I thought u wanted to bow down
Watching u, I bowed before u could
So that u could understand my love
But as I bowed I saw u picking a stone
I now understood why you were there
I bowed no more
I stretched my hands and stood there
I waited for ur stone
And as it hit me, I felt no pain
I stood there in want of more

More came and this time larger ones
I felt no pain
I cried for more
And this time you encouraged others too
As a rain of stones fell on me
I cried your name
And slowly as I left this desolate world
I asked only one question,
“Why did you do it, why did u do it?”

This was my single entry into the Blogomania Competition at Cognizance-the 2013 Fest of IIT Roorkee. Probably lost it because I made only one entry (I think the min was 3). Neways Congrats to my Cousin Ananya Bhradwaj...
