Memories

Rajinder Krishan

O forgotten memories,
don't torment me so much;
let me be at peace,
stay away from me, please.

I’ve gathered in my lap,
broken stars;
how long can I live thus,
taking support from dreams?
I am already crazy,
don't make me crazier;
let me be at peace,
stay away from me, please.

Don't rob me this way,
bringing me to the crossroads;
don't call and tempt me
by showing a new way.
I've just managed to stand up
don't make me fall, and fall again;
let me be at peace,
stay away from me, please.
