Lost in the trail of success,
Fame and time.
He walked into the empty Villa.
Turning on the lights of his luxurious home
His eyes fell on the wall full of pictures.
Moments that had passed by.
Her smile. Her tears. Her fears,
All came back haunting.
He gulped down the drink.
Not letting the guilt get to him again.
Trying to forget the pain. Void.
Emptiness, Regret. Despair.
He lost her,
First slowly, then all at once.
He had never paid attention
To her silent screams.
Her vanishing dreams.
He realised it all day.
Her presence was replaced in a moment,
By paper and memories.
And he knew for sure.
In the rat race called life,
He had lost this once.
Life in all its flavours.
Is it worth the fame and success?
Only if someone is there
To share it with you.
Life was always about
Chasing dreams for him.
Until today, he has realised.
She had always been
His only fulfilled dream.
