You've met the wordsmith for meet words
Yet, you hear your lips lisp
The neutrality of her expression
Got you bemused
For neither words from the scripture
Nor the thunders of your silent tears could
Move her move her ground

You've massaged her ego like a modern slave
And you feel the lonesomeness of the grave
Her fingers warm up your pocket
But they leave cold your freezing chest
Though whispers of her presence in your  house
Yet, echoes of her absence in your heart
You know you're falling deeper
Gosh!
How deep the pit wherein a lover falls
When he falls all by himself in love

To the thicks and deeps
To Dreamlands and outer space
You've sojourned in search of
The balm for the wounds
But your heart still  bleed from the fall
You know you're losing your peace
But you're a lover knight
Fighting for love
Wow!

Your jokes turn jests
Arguments overtake agreements
And when you ask "what's the problem?"
The answer is usually "nothing"
When you see these happening
Know the end is near
They are signs of the end
She's sorely settled to leave
Live & let her leave
