All On Your Own

by Aparna Chatterjee

In your

Moments

Of deep

Despair

You’ll

Realise

That you are

All on your own

There will be

People near you

Offering you

Some subtle

Words of care

Your pain

They’ll be

Willing to

Share…

But their

Benign

Gestures

Will not

Suffice…

And you’ll

Still realise

That your

Pain is your

Pain alone…

And you are

All on your own

poignant, though the poet writes with a little detachment born out of close encounters with life and people one trusted to stand by.

the title says it all.
