It’s Been A Few Days

By Anjil Sardar

It's been five or six days you left your birthplace 
And such tragedy occured
I can't cry seeing you in saline 
I can't see you having difficulty in breathing 
It's been five or six days you left your birthplace 
And shadow of my ignorance have overpowered your life 
Just at night yesterday 
When I have seen you struggling to keep up with life 
I rushed to my mother 
When I have seen you struggling to climb down the stares from the second floor 
I took you cautiously in the boat formed by my own arms 
It's been five or six days you left your birthplace 
Your lifespan sudenly become uncertain
Try to fight the broken bones and your noisey nose 
Filled with cough all through the years
You were born sick but I accepted it 
As well as your brothers and mother 
It's been five or six days you left your birthplace 
I started blaming myself 
Keep breathing  , try to get back Into life 
Cause I have planned something bigger with you and you all 
My life is not precious , when there ain't no you
