There you stand, Accepted beautiful! Of the last strand of joy That encompasses the world I have none to offer other Than what you give to me You are real, it can’t be Otherwise. You stand there and Look at me with uncertain Eyes! Distrust! My heart wails, Why would you not trust me?
It wasn’t so for all those times, For all that I have known you; To be your pillar of trust Is my life. You will stay calm; In a storm, look at me With calm eyes and say, “I believe You wouldn’t leave me.” I know I cannot. But as the storm settles And the vision all around becomes Clear, you look at me with Hazy eyes and tell me that My whole presence is false.
You say nothing, silence You know is loved by me. And in that silence I take Your hand, you do not Protest; you know that only this Can get us through this spell Of silence. I know that only this Can get me through the spell of Life. The silence glows with the Brightness of your smile and My joy. My whole existence Revolving around that touch Of your silent hand. Silence breaks. As noise comes from within, not Caring to reach without and my Existence loses its axis – your touch. The treachery of sound; The magnitude of loss!
My world is ablaze, yours Is in fire. You venture on To futility searching what, No one knows. Paying unasked debts, Not knowing how and where to go About. “You will be there I know,” You say with a shimmering Smile, leaving to save the world. Bound by your spell, I can’t For my life move, I will be There I know. But slowly The fire dies and with it dies The Certainty of heated thought. You bound me with your words to A place so deep and safe that for you To return to it on a bright sunny day Would seem but foolishness.
I know all this and that and Even more but I can’t let go; You are the worst addiction I have chosen to harbor. Whether I know myself or you yourself I am not sure, but in the end I curse myself for knowing Your self better that you or even Myself for that matter! Curse The fact that you are my sole Addiction; my only true happiness – Your smile, your happiness, your love.
