The Anesthetist


The pain is too much to bear
But
How come there is no tear

With wounded heart and bleeding hands
With teary eyes..
I treat u my dear

The breath, delivered to your torn lungs,
U couldn’t respond to..!!
The damage,
That was already done..!!

I heard the fluttering wings around
Angel of death just crossed my way.
I could not see him
Yet I can feel the smell of death around me

Dear departed soul
I watched..
Watched u rising above the bed
Vanishing in the clouds.
Clouds of my blurry sight..!!

I can’t take u back
I can’t feel ur heart
U  r gone..

Just like that..‼

My heart goes out to you,
Every departed soul..!!

U saw the last face…
That was mine..

Ur loved ones would be waiting..
Waiting hard..
Hard enough to break their hearts..!!

May you now rest in peace.
The peace that was not there in this chaotic world..!
