You gave me lights,
You gave me rights,
I was stubborn,
You were nice.

I gave you tears,
I gave you cheers,
You persevered,
I didn't.

They gave us time,
They gave us lime,
You said 'please',
I said, 'sorry'.

He pulled her to himself and said,
"Give me a kiss, my Lady, just a kiss"
She turned away and shook her head
"No. I thought you promised me bliss".
"But look, all my shelves are bare,
What tells me of your professed care?"


Almost kneeling, he entreated her
"But Sweetheart, here, you have my heart
Or would you rather I gift you a car?"

She wailed, "You must think me daft!
You have a beautiful wife and child
Sitting around the glowing fire in your home
Then you abandon me here, in the wild
To live by myself, all alone
You think I care for a car
When you'd still be so far
I could not even drive to meet you
Then, I'd be a complete fool".


He replied, "Dear lady, I hate to have met you
Long after I had been hooked to a wife
That no one had given me a chance to woo
Now I couldn't live without you in my life
Please, tell me what I ought to do."


Her eyes a-blazing, his a-gazing
She declared,"Send your miserable wife away
And I'm sorry, your daughter
Will have to live without her father
And I'm going to the big mansion to stay!"


"Oh no! No!" he cried, "That's unfair!
I love you but I must say the truth
The miserable wife has always shown me care
Over the years, right from our youth
I could not divorce her for anything
Least of all, you selfish, drama queen!"


She snorted and said, *"Well spoken!
Beware of this heart you have broken
I tested to know how much you loved me
Your lies are now very evident to see
Go away and leave me alone
I'll find me a husband,
To give me a proper home!"

The words dripping,
Our feelings flipping,
The tears falling,
Our ways splitting,

Your care disappears,
Your heart reappears,
Your eyes like gears,
Your ears mishear,

I speak in language,
Our thoughts never engage,
I try to salvage,
Our mismatch **damage.

You arrived with a bang,
Brought lights and colours,
Turned my world upside down,
Drained my eyes of tears,
Created muscles on my cheek,
And did surgeries on my heart.

But,

When you left, the colours dulled,
The lights switched off,
The tears kept on flowing,
The stitches in my heart reopened,
The smiles for you disappeared,
And the warm summer became cold.

Somethings seems within our grasp, however still so far.
Everything was going well but I just was never on par.
Distances so large, like us and the night sky's star.
Trapped in this, no escape like a sealed jar.

Everyday we lessen the gap, nowhere near narrow.
The possibility of failure, I think it's quite scary.
The bond turns weak overtime, somehow weaker than a barrow.
Just hoping for a sudden change, a projected arrow.

Every time when I see you, I try to converse.
As we indulge, I just feel like I made it worse.
I can't understand, Is this some sort of curse?
I guess it just might be how we're so diverse.

To be honest with you, I don't think I'm the right guy.
I kinda think that our paths have gone awry.
I need to accept this fate, no way I can ever deny.
All the hopes hit rock bottom, because I held it all high.

All the time I ever spent with you, was all in bliss.
I would do anything for the time I would've miss.
Every night, my thoughts, I'd reminisce.
Did all this just broke apart and fell into an abyss?

You probably never liked me in the first place.
You're one of a kind, no one to even replace.
I'll back up for your sake, to give you your space.
Worst comes to worst, my existence can efface.

Even if you leave, you'll still be my one true crush,
All these feelings would never go down in a flush.
The thought about you makes me blush.
In the end, all this love. We shouldn't rush.
