I thought I painted a world of pink
With love all around
I thought I was lost in bliss
But soon I did realise that it was despair
My lilac world ended as crimson
My colourful life was black and white

Even before I realised

I thought I planted a climber by my house
A climber named love
I watered it everyday
I put my sunshine over it
Dawn till dusk
Yet somehow I don't know how
It's no more near my house
while still continuing to grab me by throat
while still causing my tears to fall

Even before I realised

I know I held her hand
I know I promised her to be always
at her side
I know I planted some saplings
to see them as forests someday
To have a green life
full of happiness and hope
But I don't know how
The world has moved
I'm still stuck in that forest
Though it's no more a forest
I come to know that
I am dancing with my shadow
In a eroded patch of land
By that one foreboding tree
Which I planted
Bereft of hope
Bereft of happiness
Bereft of love

Even before I noticed

I thought I planted a seed of hope
In the form of that love
But who knew that it was a seed of despair
That gave rise to this shriveled life

I know I haven't given up
I still till that barren land
With my heart of stone
With my stream of tears
Patiently waiting for the day
When it will be a land of green
With a sky in blue
And a heart in pink

I really think sometimes
why doesn't this too happen
Even before I notice
