Day of Mourning

I woke up late today,
You didn't wake me up,
like all yesterdays,
Oh! I forgot you left.

I sleepwalked to the kitchen,
no tea in kettle today,
like all yesterdays,
Oh! I forgot you left.

I ran the bath,
forgot the towel,
called you thrice,
like all yesterdays,
Oh! I forgot you left.

I packed my bag,
lost my kerchief and socks,
no one handed me lunch,
like all yesterdays,
Oh! I forgot you left.

I returned in the evening,
unlocked the door,
no smile awaited me,
like all yesterdays,
Oh! I forgot you left.

I lie awake now,
feeling cold,
you won't wrap me in a blanket,
like all yesterdays,
Oh! I forgot you left.

I picked my phone,
Dialed 'My Dear Mom',
No one replied,
like all yesterdays,
Oh! I forgot you left.

I think all tomorrows
shall be same now,
like all yesterdays;
Oh! I remember
you left me yesterday.

I think all tomorrowsshall be same now,like all yesterdays;Oh! I rememberyou left me yesterday
