Anuj Tikku - The Haunting

The brief notes of a silent grief
The hollow sound that lies around
With the quite smell one can tell
That here once rang wedding belles
The banter of mates, relatives and of so many others
Of aunts and uncles, sisters and brothers
The morning radio blared around
Now there is no one, not even a sound
The situation is very daunting
Man living in this house is haunting
Once together we celebrated here
Smoked, ate, drank some beer
But now the hum drum has faded away
Happiness that once was has lost it's way
The night no more laughter it brings
The morning has stopped even to sing
The house that was once full of life
Resembles a man without a wife
The haunting is difficult for me to bear
The silence is it's veil that I wear
