Failure

Was it too much to ask?

To be my friend?

Or to listen to me?

To understand your student a bit more

Than your Stupid pets?

Was it much to ask you to stay?

Or to trust , that you won't leave me alone?

I loved and listened to you as any good friend .

And you gave me an amazing gift,

Round ,drops of tear water

When we parted .

Was it too much to ask you to stop arguing?

About everything big and small?

To stop and see your child's smile

A smile hiding her pain and sorrow. 

To save her sanity.

Alas! God Was it too much to ask?

To give me peace and solitude?

A moment of happiness and love from others?

May be I was too selfish,

I asked something beyond my deserving .

May be I was never meant to smile nor love .

I will die and vanish with no one to remember me .

Ahhh ! At least that seems something pleasant .

Because everything else I hoped for ,

Ended in failure.
