Expectations...Not to be....

Expected 'Death' from God,
He gave me the curse of 'Life'...
Expected 'Fire' to light up my soul,
It set my world 'Ablaze'...
Expected 'Solace' from the mystic moon,
It filled my soul with 'Loneliness'...
Expected life to shower me with 'Joy',
It made me battle 'Grief'...
Expected 'Friends' to be by my side,
They gave me the gift of 'Isolation'...
Expected 'Stars' as reward from the night sky,
It sent its 'Darkness' my way...
Expected 'Tinkle' from the bells ...'Whistles' from the wind...
They snatched it away...snatched away the 'Voice of my desperate Soul'...

Why is this... I donot know...
No Companions to trust, No where to go...
Desolate on this far Island of Misery....
No Light , no Life, no one doth show...

None ever asked me for anything they desired...
They thought I couldnot Give...

Is it the Reason...the Reason why...
Nothing was given to me in the first place ....?
