Of what has been...

For five months,Fate looked on and smiled,
And in a bashful moment, it thus contrived:
My first love looked right in my eye,
And never did wince as she said good bye.

In moments, what had brought eternal joy,
Became painful: a hurtful devilish ploy.
No spirits no medicine will ease the pain,
Of losing you, in a moment so vain.

Here rests my head, on my stone cold table,
As memories clog my mind, like a long lost fable.
The work piles on as bosses shout,
Autumn in my mind, just like a withering drought.

If days were bad, the nights are worse.
The world quiets down, silenced by the night,
Parrying me to my end, like a hearse,
Shedding a sorrowful tear on my plight.

Days have passed since that inglorious moment,
Time, the eternal healer, is covering my wounds,
But some wounds leave a scar for us to lament,
The days when you were here, when joy had no bounds.

'Coming back to life' goes the song,
As I take another drag from the bong,
I'll recover with what you left me,
The memory of what has been,and never more will be...

Mind-readers…

I’m not a mind-reader, but

It wouldn’t have taken one

To realize that you were unsure

About me, about us, maybe.

It is weird to know, someday,

You can just stop liking someone.

Actually, it does make sense, but

That liking has to be “liking” only.

For if it were love, yes, love,

You can’t stop loving someone.

I’m not a mind-reader, but

It wouldn’t have taken one

To see you really loved me then

Now, I am not so sure. Why?

You have given me reasons.

I have always said, and say again,

I am not perfect; perfection is a myth

I try my best, I really do, trust me

But sometimes, it is just not enough

You just walk away, away from me

My heart confused, my brain numbed

You say you can’t feel my love

Is it because you don’t love me yourself?

Maybe, it is hard to “feel” one-sided love

I just wish you somehow felt it…

I’m not a bad person, you’ll know someday,

I just have flaws and if you don’t tell me,

It’s tough for me to find out.

I’m not a mind-reader, but

It doesn’t take one, to know,

That something bothers you,

Makes you sad, and unhappy.

I don’t know what to do

Out of words, clueless, confused

But I’ll continue being myself

You can change me, correct me

But if you just let me be, and leave

That’ll be the most hurtful for me.

Maybe it’s too fast and too soon,

But someday you’ll realize that

You’re not a mind-reader, but

It doesn’t take one to know,

Mark my words, someday,

You’ll realize I really LOVE you…
