The Lap

Since we are together…
For more than two decades now,
Every second with you, still…
Feels like more holier-than-thou,

I miss that lap of yours, used to put my head on
Where, I want to be, but, let’s move on…       
Because I am a coward, scared to do so…

I feel scared, to spill out everything…
That would leave you broken.
I feel scared, to the thought of…
What would be after then?

Because that is the place…
I can breathe with my vulnerabilities,
I have never let you know, Maa…
How much your lap means.

I feel scared, to get up now…
This world judges me, anyhow..!!!

I feel scared, what if you would…
Not be here, with me, someday…
So, please hide me in your lap, Maa…

It’s Mother’s Day !!!
