Situational Care

You care, you really do
When I am done sobbing for hours
And you are done with your day
I eagerly wait for you
You come half awake

I wish to pour my heart out
You release a slight sigh
I tell you what all I could
You love me you say
I tell you that’s not the point
You tell me that’s how you pay

I tell me to be patient
While you decide to hit the hay

Manushya means Human in Hindi. Humans are known to be the smartest species on Earth. When the smartest species love, hate, empathize, exploit, turn towards as well as against each other to win the battle of survival, they forget the most important thing. The factual belief that 'it' can't survive alone. That is when people like me think and when we think that our thinking minds will explode of thinking, we write. So to sum up, I am a Believer, a Thinker and a Writer.

  1. Lovely poem! Please excuse my naivety in this interpretation, but I read some intentionally mixed signals in the work. It’s not a happily ever after situation, but something more born of the real world, where two people love each other but don’t know always how that is revealed or shown.

    1. Hi Roger, I am glad you liked my work 🙂
      The first part of your interpretation is what the writer(me) has carried in the second part as well. It certainly is not a happily ever after (are there any?) . In this poem, the writer has tried to show small acts by partner which comes out as lack of empathy. Both love each other but are they emotionally supportive? You will get the conclusive part of the story in last 2 lines.

      Thanks
