Neglected

By Biplob Kabiraz

I've paved paths for others, spread light of joy,Yet why did I find darkness, bound by sorrow's ploy?I gave my life with love, but received only a crown of thorns,Why is it that my fate is written with the burn of mourns?

I tried never to bring grief to anyone,But why did tears flow when night had begun?The one I dreamed with, the one I called my own,Left me empty, broke all that I had known.

Those I wished to have by my side—did anyone extend their hand?Is this the path fate has written, where neglect is its brand?I chased happiness, but sorrow followed like a shade,Dreams vanished, leaving behind scars that never fade.

I never sought sorrow in anyone's eyes,Yet why does loneliness stay, beneath the skies?I did not receive love, maybe I am forsaken,But my heart knows—no one's soul have I shaken.
