Sunday Letter by Debanjana Ghatak

My Princess

It’s been days you left me alone and gone.
I am left only with memories and I mourn.
You were the sunshine of my life,
Now darkness hovers around and I’m left to die.
Your white coat and brown tail made me happiest.
Now I look for you beside but the place is empty.
You were my confident but now me, the loneliest being.
I look for you every time but you are nowhere as far as my eyes could reach.
You may be not here with me in flesh and blood
But will always rule my heart and will live in my words.

You were my partner of crime,
We took up many adventures and travelled with a smile.
We were best buddies and still we are,
Only you are not present but your essence still wanders.
We sauntered under moonlit sky and exchanged thoughts.
We chased each other without any reason and now nowhere to roam.
You roared with thunder and never left me alone.
You were chivalrous, you were brave, I was proud and still I am.
You were not so big but your heart was enormous.
You loved every creature which includes rats, birds and few scary beings.

You were not only mine but the heart of our estate,
Your untimely demise left all of us in distress.
You were the queen and had quite a number of lovers,
You were adored by all and you fancied little flowers.
You were least interested to eat but more into protest,
You were the fighter who was confident to fight with might and valore.
You were my strength as well as weakness.
Not even in my nightmares I saw myself without you, my princess.
We were sisters and best friends and you’ll be standalone in my aching soul.
I’m alone, I’m depressed, and you will always be my sweet furry friend whom I adored the most.
