Calmly you said this was my last T20 world cup
Only to make my lungs scream shut the fuck up
Looting all my admiration for years but angst now
Then you also fulfilled those unsaid promises & vows
-
-
Always an alpha to stay rigid against the outside noise
Isn't the story same for my begging and crying voice
Wait can I bribe you with chole bhature from ram
Nah my king you got other two formats to slam
--
You told us to be prepared mentally for anything
But you are my childhood love and not just a fling
Mark open legged stance down at 3 to tackle pace
Stay longer my wrong footed inswinging menace
-
-
After decade long spree I feel horror but not thrill
As like the first rest two wicket might fall as well
Thanks for returning back my long-lost fear
And leaving me shattered now & crumbling forever.
