People around him
Often admire and value
His attire and demeanour
And ascribe his achievements
In moral and material life
To his commitment and hard work.
Climbing the ladder of success
Yet leading life of a loner
Skeptic and remorseful,
He often wonders in solitude
Whether it’s really his genuine
Commitment and hard work…
Or if his first love
Which remained last too
Is the one that compels him
To indulge in many diversions
In an endeavour to escape
The uneasiness and pain caused
By her haunting memories
And irreparable loss in life.
