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 !!!
