Two presences nothing can replace,
presence of father and mother,
presence of unasked compassion.
The world is compassionless,
a void that has nothing free for you,
a void where everything is alien.
You are just left with endless emptiness,
a never-ending feeling of loss of love,
love that begged nothing in return.
A state of ineffableness takes you over,
a state where you start missing that love.
those smiling faces, that advice, and those kind eyes.
Their absence makes you realise things,
things that you never wanted to confront:
vulnerability, helplessness, loneliness.
Now no one is there to pick you up,
no one is there to hold you when you fall,
no one is there to say that I am here.
An agonizing revelation comes,
you are bareheaded now and getting blistered,
discover with an ache that they were your headcover.
