Alone

This poem titled ‘Alone’ emphasizes on the idea of being with your best friend – a book. It says that people leave you for different reasons but books stay with us. Antithesis, repetition, rhymes, reasons and reality add a cherry on this cake.

You know why
Books are  best friends 
not because
they are till the end
But because 
they’re only 
one who remains
Some walk in grief
and some in pain
one in success
And the other when failed
They come to  me
When they need me 
And leave when I do
They see you are wrong
And I listen 
sitting on the ocean floor
Looking around
Finding my own self
And finally
I find myself
in a book kept 
next door
