prathap suthan - together forever

you will never leave me
if i am poor or hungry
or wealthy and obnoxious

you will never disown me
come rain, come shine
come the loudest wall street crash

you will never walk away
even if i have been unkind,
ungrateful or terribly unfaithful

you will never give me the boot,
despite anything i might throw at you
or anything life will stab you with

you will never cry
or complain that i ignore you
this for now and forever

you will never ditch me
when i am grey and fat and bald
nay not even when i have sinned

you will never ask me for anything
a quiet evening, a secret rendezvous
or a even a little dropp of water

you will never forget me
in sickness, in winters, in summers
regardless of how harsh i have been

you will never abandon me,
across my destiny, across my fate
and along the journey of my life


you are me, i am you,
you are my shadow.
