You ask me where you stand in my life, after you have walked out of it.
You ask me whether you still strike a chord in me, after you have cut all the strings.
You ask me whether I can reach out to you, after you have amputated my hands.
You ask me why can’t you see me after you have shut me out from your life.
You ask me the questions which were answered by you long ago.
My dearest, one can’t suffer the legacy one leaves behind.

i dont understand the last line........my dearest one can't 'suffer' the legacy he left behind........
phee phee nice one dude!
Hmmm ... two things -
1) It's really sad when you understand somebody else's insecurities and their need for reassurance, especially when you are in a situation to do nothing about it.
2) People seek protection against themselves.
And I would have thought it ought to have been " ... suffer the legacy one leaves behind."? Freudian slip?
@ Anon - Now I have made a small change in the last which should make it clear.
P.S - By the way who is this ?
@ Deepa - Phee phee ?
@ Musafir - Thanks for pointing out the error.
Hmmmmmm!!
love never withers away,does it.And it's really sad when u understand somebody's inability to be there for u anymore,and u still voice that yen.
its beautiful how a single word of reassurance can sometimes be life giving.
Reminds me of this song i got introduced to recently,Azhage sugama which i heard 15times yday.
Happy journey :)And remember "Mermaid in the mist"
i like this post...i understand better after the correction but im still intrigued by the use of the word 'suffer' here..o im the great-

Pain is more poigant than pleasure. Agree with samudraa... azhage sugama is one song that I am hopelessly addicted to..
Especially the lines " veliye azhuthal vekkam endru vilakai anaithu azhuthen".
Somehow, the longing of the lost lover tugs one's heart more than the doting one. Dunno why, the pain seems more expressive when it is the man who suffers the lost (nothing sadistic, just an opinion)
Good One...awesome last line...
makes a lot of sense.....
@ Samudra - Love never withers away ? I am not sure how well I am equipped to answer that question but will give it a try anyway.
Now consider two things about Love - The people involved in it and the moments involved in it. When you say Love never withers away and you yearn for those moments, I think that you yearn for those memories of love and not the lover per se. I cannot keep on loving a person after he/she has changed into something I detest but I may long for the time we spent together. So I guess the love for a person might wither away but not the need for love.
I somehow don like the idea of my life being dependent on somebody else's word of reassurance.
@ Soliloquist - Pains seems more expressive when its a man who suffers the loss ? Have you ever wondered why is it so ?
@ Raj-Kris - Glad you liked it :) . Last line makes a lot of sense ? Hmmm curious really curious...
Maybe because women move on fast...(perhaps due to social constraints ?)... their pain appears to be a distant memory, though it may not actually be.They try to lock it within themselves and suffer in silence.
But coincidentally, I am right now trying to help a friend who is troubled by the advances of a woman spurned by someone else... I have absolutely no clue how to go about it... I can offer no other explanation but that when some women are used to getting too much attention and care, that they tend to expect it from everywhere...
thats how life is strange, if u understand hindi than this song sums up quite a bit:
na jaane kyon hota hai zindagi ke saath
achanak yeh mann kisi ke jaane ke baad kare phir uski yaad
choti choti se baat...
@ Soliloquist - You offered one plausible explanation...but have always believed that women are more expressive than men are may it be anger, happiness, grief and atleast most of the women I know are infact very expressive but again I son wanna fall into the trap of stereotyping.
Does your friend need your help because he is troubled by the advances of a woman ? Well the simplest thing to do if it works would be tell that Miss that he is not interested.
@ Monika - I do understand Hindi and infact have a fascination for that language. Life's strange? Yeah very much, would you have liked it if it were not ?
yup that is the there its the uncertainties in life that make it interesting
You caught the Visual DNA bug too? What's happening to the world? {Shakes his head}
People started copying you man :)
