I loved to watch her before the bedtime
As she washed her facial makeup to look sublime
Lying in bed, I saw in the aesthetics.
Exposing her pale sunken cheeks and dark circles under her eyes without the cosmetics.
I loved watching her rings and earrings filmed
And wearily bit her lips red.
She did not like it when I looked into the eye
But I still watched furtively and wondered why?
When she washed her face, she finally went to bed
As she transformed from a rich lady into a simple girl
I hugged her tightly with all the force and opened my arms widespread
And she kissed the feeble little hands covered with veins in a whirl.
She did not like to show her weakness
And so, every day she kept wincing to prove her uniqueness.
She painted her face again and ate more sweets
To recover her mood and get some peace.
At night, I pretended to be asleep
When her nose commenced to bleed
As she went to the bathroom and to the God, she plead.
But i knew that the Gods always mislead.
It was already five minutes that in the bathroom she had stayed
I quietly got up to peek and saw her fade.
So pale, so impotent i ran to bring the ice for her aid
I hugged and whispered "i treasure you! My Sweetheart" and suddenly dismayed.
Here, it was the year she was gone
Leukemia was the disease that became her dawn
I still remember her face shone
Beneath the expensive cosmetics that were condoned.
No one, not a soul knew about it
You would not have thought that she is sick even a bit
Only I knew as I watched her life quit
Fading away with each passing week and then finally
Losing it!
I love her still, just like a crazy.
And every day, before going to sleep i imagine my daisy
As she looks in the mirror and applies the cosmetics
As I quietly put the bottle of cream, unsure about the aesthetics.
