I Am Still Lost...
I am still lost into that world,
That world where you left me dejected,
When you once saw life in me,
That world where sometime ago,
We would lay together and kiss.

I closed my eyes and saw you right,
Right in front of me smiling,
You came near and called out my name,
I stretched my hand but all in vain,
For it was nothing more than a dream.

You were so near, yet so far,
For a moment it was almost as if,
As if I could get you back in my arms,
As if nothing went wrong.

All by myself,
I walked away in seclusion,
A tear rolled down my cheek,
And I realized it is now but a delusion.

These tears hold my pain,
Pain of those steps that walked away,
Pain of that touch that no more remains,
Pain of that name that held my life,
Pain of that smile which has now staled.

I sighed and cried,
Reminiscing those days of spring,
When I saw two lovers passing by,
To each other they would cling.

They sat beside me,
Lost in their world,
Least oblivious of my presence,
Hands held tight,
They smiled and remained,
How there love seemed to crescent.

She laid her head on his shoulder,
He kissed her on the brow,
They talked of marriage, kids and them getting older,
Seemed everything to them god had endowed.

How then I wanted to run away,
Wanted the earth to tear apart,
How I wanted to cry my heart out,
For they had awakened the memories of our past.

That is how my days go by,
And I am more dreaded for the nights,
When the sleepless pillow,
The broken photo frame,
The dumped teddy,
That wall which had our name,
All stand together and ask me why,
Why when I held your love in my every breathe,
All I was left to with was to cry.

And I lay alone here,
Clutching on to my pillow tight,
How I wish this night to end,
How with time I tussle and fight.
