Poetry: How do I feel now?

Long lost poem.

Posted by Manjil Saikia on June 28, 2015

The poem below was written on 26th December, 2012 and posted on a blog that I used to manage. But I let the domain expire and thought that would be the end of it. Apparently, the people at way back machine thought it to be a good idea to preserve the blog. So here it goes.

How do I feel now?
A feeling lost in the trenches,
Deep down I know it a mistake,
Maybe the feeling shared,
The cold winter evenings
Make little effort to help me dry
Its just a lost cause, still I try
The dark ravages of the past haunts me,
The mock anger at times taunts me,
I stay awake thinking
And praying,
And hoping,
That someday somehow,
All will be right.
I shall take you in my arms,
Look into your eyes,
And say, deep down
I will always love you.
