A GHOST AND A SIGH

 

he thought he was in the wrong realm

everything blurry and scrambled 

but he could recognize the room, the faces 

the ambiance gave him sense of belonging 

it all felt like it never happened 

the mood he met them all

the music, alcohol and party

No one was sober 

have they forgotten so soon?

he who made it all rosy for them

as he stood looking at them

 he blinked but not a tear came out 

gliding to his matrimonial room

there lay his wife on a video call with her ex

he felt a sharp and heavy pain when his wife said

“I love you and I’ll see you next weekend”

this was happening despite all he did

dedicated his whole life to making his family great

but here he was, a ghost regretting

irony of pain and death, betrayal of trust and confidence  

his expectations cut short 

he heaved a sigh and turned his back 

and with a swoosh rush of air 

he was blown off with the wind
