A SILENT CRY..

Somewhere in the city,
lay motionless- a girl.
All stained in blood,
but no one cared..

She was yet to be born,
her eyes hadn't seen the dawn.
When malevolence struck her,
and in the jaws of death she was brutally drawn.

The Death God came,
to receive her Himself.
To take her back,
to the place she had once left.

Outlandish she was now,
a soul too lone.
Hence, she abjured the world,
heading in a direction unknown.

She bawled, she wailed,
full of acrimony.
Since her mission to Earth,

had unceremoniously failed.

There were questions- unanswered,
there were thoughts- full of vehemence.
She ought to confront them,
her once "would be" parents.

She accosted them,
almost in tears.
Had she forgotten,
that they were no longer her peers??

"Oh Mom! Oh Dad!
what was my fault?"
Stupefied she was,
and that anyone could spot.

"I was a part of your soul,
your flesh, your skin.
You were the ones,
whom I would have called kin.

I still remember the day,
Ah!! the clouds were so gray.
When you told Dad that you were pregnant,
and a child was on the way.

He kissed you back,
in an ardent style.
Then what went wrong?
were you thinking of a boy all this while?

You nourished me for months,
and held me so close.
You spoke to me loquaciously.
why then did I have to go?

I would have been at par,
with the son you dreamt of so far.
But I was nipped off,
like an unwanted scar.

Why? Why?? Why??? "

But the couple was untouched,
unmoved by the girl's whine.
"How can it be?", she thought.
Then realizing something,
she let out a sigh, as if it was the perfect anodyne.

The reality had re-surfaced,
now in it's crudest form.
She was a soul, not a being anymore.
and the ability to listen to one, humans didn't have in store.

Alas!! I wish they did...
I really wish!!!
