On a summer evening,

Watching the sunset at the seashore,

Are waves returning home with joy? Or,

Being taken away from home like our lost daughter?

Every message to my brain was,

Nightmare of losing another daughter, or,

Dreaming of reuniting with a lost daughter,

What to answer when her twin sisters ask us questions,

“Mama, where is my sis? I want to play with her,

Dada, at least you tell me”,

We can’t tell her that her sis was eaten by an insatiable hunger.

Whom to be blamed?

We for being late of 2 min to pick them, or

The one who killed our 5 years Jem,

How to erase your memory?

If you two resemble the same.

Remembering the memories of,

 Broken pieces of daddy’s specs,

While chasing you and your sister,

Now we have only left with broken hearts dear,

Who is going to pay for the loss of love?

Our cells die whenever we realize,

That we are only parents of one and not two.
