'Cured'

Doctor said "Medicines seem to be working".

I took a pause.

in back of my mind, deep down my buried thoughts are coming up and asking me to say it.

I gave it a name - Insomnia,

it was loneliness.

Loneliness gradually turns into solitude by crack of the dawn.

And as day goes on, at dusk, I am all trapped in darkness.

Nights were the hardest and longest to end.

Sleepless nights continued for a long until I met him.

After a long busy day, now I know I have a 'home' to come back to, someone waiting for me to come home,

to share dinner table with,

to laugh together,

I know I have someone now,

loneliness is fading, slowly.

At night, I can sleep at peace,

feet on yours,

covered in you,

no longer spaces between my fingers,

bare skin feeling the rhythm of your breath.

Now my nights look so much better;

it wasn't insomnia after all, it was loneliness.

And I said - "Yes doctor, medicines seem to be working."
