Rainy days,Many memories..

3.15 pm.Only fifteen minutes,
but 15 long minutes since the bell
rang to end a school day
Years passed,but i still dwell,
on that rainy May,and those 15 minutes.

You promised dad,
you would be in time to take me,
You promised dad,
to not let me cry, but now you make me,
seeing other children walk,
hand in hand as they talk
and smile with their parents.

I never realized trees which sheltered me
and watched me at play,
would loom so monsterously ..
I never felt sitting in the steps, so tiny,
watching the school like I did everyday,
but frowning at me so ponderously.

It must have thought me an orphan,
and mustve been readying hands,
to grab me and take prisoner in its walls,
to take me where I could not hear the calls,
of friends coming to rescue me.

I screamed when I saw you,
I hugged you out of desperation,
you noticed not my tears or fears
you wiped dutifully the perspiration
clouding my temple..

That sowed a seed,indeed,
of mistrust and rash judgement won
whenever you said to your son
to trust you,
how could you?
and I went my way..
from that day..
Sensing I was wrong to mistrust
but the rain that brought in Rust
which rots from within..
If only you wiped my tears,
If only you had alleviated my Fears.
