Blood relatives
Comparison high
Emotions buried
Ruled by a lie
Envy survives
Love remains lost
Blood turns thin
At every cost
Walls built
Relationships die
No share in joy
No shoulder to cry
One life
Each wants best
Nothing is left
For the rest
The delicate thread
Breaks apart
Intricate links
No longer in the heart
Contempt triumphs
Soul doesn't know
Fragile lives
More fragile ego
beautiful poem and also poignant look at our fragile lives :)
ReplyDeleteThat's the sad reality of our life. I dont know why most of us share such sad and empty relationships with our relatives!
ReplyDeleteIndians especially.
DeleteMinimum words, maximum depth. Wonderfully done!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteIt is so easy to drift apart in life. So easy to not think about others. People forget breaking is much more easier than fixing. I love the last two lines, such a perfect summation of everything.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jai!
DeleteWell said. Fragile egos and ruined lives.
ReplyDeleteSadly, yes.
DeleteEgos and fragile lives - go hand in hand :(
