I know darling <br />You will be surprised <br />to see me <br />My face is full of beard <br />My hairs are falling <br />I have not seen me in mirror <br />for many years <br />these beards are years <br />When I touch my face <br />I understand I am growing old. <br /> <br />I know my darling <br />You are angry with me <br />You must have thought me <br />a coward, a liar and an escapist <br />Yes, you are right <br />I have escaped from you <br />Because, I loved <br />another woman <br />a mother <br />My motherland. <br /> <br />I could not tell you <br />on that night <br />they have arrested me <br />blind folded <br />Since then I am in jail <br />Its now 20 years. <br /> <br />My sin is I loved my country <br />more than you <br />I know darling <br />You will never forgive me.<br /><br />Ershad Mazumder<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-letter-to-my-darling/
