The Amputed Bond Poem by Namita Rani Panda

"Forget the past and move on!
He doesn't deserve your love and affection! "

"Don't cry over split milk!
Without him your world is not at all bleak! "

" If any bond ever hurts
breaking up for good is the best! "

I listened to the consolations
as I listened to the advice of my physician
and amputed a relation
along with my foot, the incurable diabetic one!

Maybe I am living with one foot
but I'm happy that I am alive and active!

But the amputed leg with the scar
is a constant reminder
that a lovely and lively foot was once there
adorned with an anklet of silver
which used to run, hop and dance
like that lost relation!

Can the scars of gone days ever be lost in oblivion?
