Everyday I tell her Not to remember your dimples. Everyday I tell her Not to find those crinkles, Your eyes created While the smile wrapped itself, Intimately around your lips And the first nail of my coffin was hit! Your heart is stuck in someone else, And mine I have left in your closet. After all the time that has passed I am still staring, At the empty mug to hold just a drop, A drop to satisfy this craving Or maybe just to forget this thirst. Thirst,quenched not even by the elixir, Elixir that saved the life But could not fill the emptiness in it Could not give it a meaning to be lived. All I need is a bit of you, But sigh! I can have that never. Yet I love you Just the way you love her Someone said it right- One sided love holds an alien kind of peace, Peace in the pleasure offered by pain, Pain that I, so passionately chase.

Pleasure from Pain
Everyday I tell her Not to remember your dimples. Everyday I tell her Not to find those crinkles, Your eyes created While the smile wrapped itself, Intimately around your lips And the first nail of my coffin was hit! Your heart is stuck in someone else, And mine I have left in your closet. After all the time that has passed I am still staring, At the empty mug to hold just a drop, A drop to satisfy this craving Or maybe just to forget this thirst. Thirst,quenched not even by the elixir, Elixir that saved the life But could not fill the emptiness in it Could not give it a meaning to be lived. All I need is a bit of you, But sigh! I can have that never. Yet I love you Just the way you love her Someone said it right- One sided love holds an alien kind of peace, Peace in the pleasure offered by pain, Pain that I, so passionately chase.
