Should I Die

-Tariqul Islam Siam

Should I die

Staring at the firefly

Which you called the light of life

Should I die

With the possibilities I had

With the dreams of my dad

Should I die

Letting my mother sink in the ocean of tear

Baring her hands of cares

Should I die

With all the hope that was left

Leaving the garden that I made

Should I die

For the last time looking at the crimson sky

And leaving a hopeless sigh

Should I die

Leaving my smiling brother

Who won’t again smile ever?

Should I die

Beside my grandfather’s pyre

Leaving the people, I admire

Should I die

With an uncured eye

Which was to cry

Because it couldn’t see

The gleaming beauty

Of the moonlit night

Where the moon shines

Everything so bright

Should I die

Like the sun, who lets his light

To collide with the darkness of twilight

But finally, it goes off

Like me when my soul  must fly

Should I die without saying goodbye?

To my dearest friends

But my life will indeed end

Should I die

Leaving the most beautiful lie

That led my life

That lie is nothing but a hope

That told me

You aren’t going to leave your abode

But one day the truth came

And defined the end of my game

I smile and leave a meaningful sigh

And saying this world a silent goodbye

Finally,

I die…
