My dear friend

I know that that heavy burden has been clawing inside your heart, Years has passed, You never tell, I never asked. I've seen your fall from the catastrophe, And I know your pain in immense. But what worse it could be, I am standing helplessly, Feeling like a prick, But not doing anything. I wish you'd have allowed me just for once To enter there Where you have suppressed your pain so hard. Just tell me once, how is it valid to share the laughter aloud but when it comes to tears, (your tears) You back off. Just tell me once, Why is it easy to talk about all the beauty and the bounty the life has given, to buttonhole me with all your talks, Squabbling around the irrelevant sometimes, But it scares you to talk about the story of your scars. Just tell me once, how is it fair that my pain, my trouble, my problem becomes ours, and yours is always yours. Just tell me once, why you are so hard to explore. It's been years of our being together, why you are always this mysterious. Just tell me once how is it relevant in our strong bonding of ages. May be it's too painful to talk about, May be it's me who isn't worthy enough, Whatsoever it may be, but I know you ain't much healed, And it bothers me. I can't assure you that unveiling your scars will heal you definitely But the one thing I am sure of: It feels good to be listened, listened in enchantment. I know it because you do the same to me And It bolsters my strength. Honey! We all have our shadows Pour it out & Burn them down. May be then you'll feel a little lighter.
