Poem by Dr.Paramita Mukherjee Mullick
What if?
What if I didn’t love you?
What if I thought of loving someone else other than you?
What if I didn’t endorse your view?
What if I didn’t love you?
Why have you kept me on such a high pedestal?
Where I can’t be ordinary.
Where I can’t be the real me.
Where I have to understand you are busy.
Where spending time with me means you are lazy.
What if I didn’t love you?
What if I thought of loving someone else other than you?
What if I was dumb?
What if I didn’t understand you
And look at you with an expression numb?
Why have you kept me mesmerized with your goodness?
Why do I always outweigh your virtue with your vice?
Why do I always do the right?
Why don’t I get bad and play a game of dice?
What if we could forget work?
What if we could be a free lark?
What if we would be free?
What if we were under the wishing tree?
What if I didn’t love you?
What if I thought of loving someone else other than you?
What if I didn’t endorse your view?
What if I didn’t love you?
Lovely
