LOVING FROM A DISTANCE


'You're being missed terribly'


It was a nice summer evening
When you said goodbye
The time when my heart
Was starting to want things
You were leaving
With all your love and happiness

The pain of watching you go
Only the heart could explain
It takes one to love
But takes two to hold on
The little joys of life
You took away when you left

Ask my mind if it misses u?
It would deny, it would lie
Ask my heart if it misses u?
It would choose not to answer
It would be in fear
It would not want its feelings in vain

This booze, the little menace that it is
It doesn't fill the void anymore
These tears, they betray
They come unannounced
This smile of mine, a tantrum thrower
Refuses to come anymore

Its not the loneliness of today
But the longing of yesterday
To hold your hand
To hug you
To kiss you
To tell you that I love you

Forgetting is easy
Remembering is hard
Its easy to forget the last of everything
But hard to reminisce and hold on
And then I wonder
Why you keep crossing my mind?

A lifetime is not enough waiting
If you ask for more, I shall
Its not the waiting that causes pain
But the notion of being with you there
Because the wait is easy
But loving you is not

THE LOST SMILE




'Let the music play till it drowns all the fearful voices in my head. Let me erase that which causes so much pain'


All these vibrant colours 
Of the sky
Asking her to smile
Asking her to walk that last mile
Epitome of happiness, she achieved
Now she falls to the ground
Like a broken star
Peace was taken away
Even the shadow leaving her side
Must she falter while walking?
Must she stumble upon her words?
She do not know
She tried being her own saviour
She tried fighting her own battles
But now she was breaking
Now she was quitting
These conflicting sides
Of her own heart
These deliberations
Of her own head
She couldn’t fathom
Dream a little, she always said
But now she was battling
Those inner conflicts
Struggling to keep those
Flights of fantasies alive
Let her smile, she begged
Make her feel better, she said
For if she fell now
She won’t be able to
Stand again.
