Attachment

Devasish Malla. 1999 (Nepal)



Getting attached to anything makes you weak
Your mind only seems to seek
Oh how you wish your mind to be meek
But nothing works when you are sick.
Sick for attention
Sick for love
Oh how I wish I could raise above
From this desperate seeking of love
All I ask from you is that scared feeling
Can you not see that my heart is bleeding.
For you, oh for you it's pleading
Oh if only you could feel my heeding
Then only my efforts to get to you would not be so misleading.

About this poem

One sided love is a hard thing to deal with. I am going through it now and I guess you all have gone through it at some point of your life.
