Love Lost Kills

I'm helplessly dying a slow painful death 

Which may be realised late 

Too late to put right anything wrong 

I heartly cry

But my wails and tears attract no deserving response 

I painfully speak my mind 

But it falls on deaf ears 

I actually die faster 

When I remember how dearly we started 

I get lost in regret and thought 

You loved me, cared for me, promised me, ...

You used to take for me water to the bathroom 

And almost bathed me 

You checked on me in bed time and again 

As you carried on with your domestic chores 

You fed me like a baby learning to eat 

You often called whenever you were out of home 

To find out whether l had taken tea or eaten food 

You missed my absences with deep passion 

You frequently called to check on me 

And also received my calls with promising love 

You polished my shoes to reflection point 

You dressed me like a toddler 

Buttoning my shirt with a disarming smile 

You prayed with me 

Before every journey l made 

You catered for my welfare 

Whenever l went on long journeys 

And called repeatedly to find out how far 

For with travelling, you never know 

I clearly understand the problem at hand

But this has gone beyond 

Everything has turned upside down 

Helping me to die slowly but surely 

Will the start ever re-appear?

I feel l can't hold myself anymore 

But it will be too late!
