Adieu, My Beloved (Car)

My dear one. We have been together for over four years. Our love for each other has been the source of envy for many of our close friends. Despite the fact that I often mistreated you, you never complained and always took good care of me. We traveled the length and breadth of Texas and Tennessee together. But now, the time has come for us to part.

Adieu, my beloved ’95 Chevy Prizm. Stay happy with your new owner.

Yeah, I managed to sell my almost-junk student car!! It required all my marwari ingenuity and salesmanship.

Adieu, my beloved.
You were not a car, you were a piece of art
You had become my life’s indelible part
Without you, my life was incomplete
Like a bed without a bedsheet.

Your headlights were the beacon of my life
And your engine’s roar the sound of my soul
Your steering wheel was my inner compass
And your mirrors my inner reflections.



P.S.: Excuse me for my shoddy poetic skills
