That Word

That word,

When you are somewhere in between

Anger and hurt

But won’t say,

You just won’t say.

That word,

When you are somewhere in between

‘Why did you’ and ‘How could you’

But won’t say,

You just won’t say.

The child shifted you to an old age home.

The lover moved out with someone known.

The state of shock,

The face of pride,

The tears that would never be shown.

While the ship, self made, sails away

And you don’t board, ‘cause they had you overthrown.

অভিমান (Obhimaan)

That word,

Which no other language could own.
-Abhishikta
