When I kiss you, my dear, <br />I have never realized this fact. <br />When I have kept you so close, <br />nearer to my heart, I was dumb, <br />thinking of you most of the time, <br />and make sure that you are there for me. <br />When I love you so much, <br />why did you do this to me? <br /> <br />My lungs are congested with tar, <br />My odorous skin is pale, <br />My heart has to work harder, <br />as the fat clogged the vessels, <br />persistent cough make me dumb again, <br />I have to be mended for the love, <br />that I had upon you. <br />Why did you do this to me? <br /> <br />How many thousands smoked, <br />for me to get this return? <br />How many fights were fought, <br />for me to end up this way? <br />Though I read and saw sick people, <br />I thought I was an immortal. <br />When you completely destroyed me <br />it is already too late.<br /><br />veeraiyah subbulakshmi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/don-t-kiss-2/
