I Was Watching You Poem by Plabita Bhaskar

When you were sitting alone
Your mind unrest
Lines strewn hard on thy forehead
Crystalline droplets your eyes that shed
Together in tune my heart did bled
I know you trembled, you feared, despaired,
You weren't alone
For I was there, watching you.


Yours palms so clasped in prayful tears
That rack you ensembled your pain in layers.
Those grave heavy breathe you helplessly sighed
That smile you had worn to discreetly hide.
I know you trembled, you feared, despaired.
You weren't alone
I was still watching you.


How in agony you silently brawled,
The pint of happiness you toiled to fall.
Your voiceless screams,
That every crushed dream.
When you lowered your head
and drenched in pain.
You weren't alone Mum...
Strangled to defeat
My heart was trembling too
I know your soul
Your dreams behold
You weren't ached alone
For I was always there watching you...
