Poem

Whenever I met her,
I saw my own heart
Reflecting in her eyes
 I asked God
"Why is it so?"
He replied to me,
"It's from your bone
 I fashioned her....." 

Whenever she speaks to me
I feel a great spark from within my soul
I asked to the Almighty, once again,
"Why is it so?"
He replied to me,
"I made only one heart for both of you.."

Now when I sit alone
In front of my church
I ask Him sadly,
"Why did she leave me alone?"
He replied to me:

"Even though I made her from your bone,
Even though I made  the same heart for both of you,
I forgot to make her your own.."

An unsettling question plagued me
Why did He forget to enjoin our hearts?
 I feel like a cricket player
Who failed in the world cup final

Lost, dejected, despondent
Only because of the law of 

Duckworth-Louis.
