Quiet

I am quiet.
The silence I favor,
but not the one that dams every thought
that bubbles around our heads.
I'd like to rip it apart,
but I'll drown from the ripped quiet dam.
That silence I don't favor.
I am quiet again.

Is there something wrong in wanting to hold hands but you don’t want to?
The way you fling your hands away from mine
The way you wipe it off like it’s been made filthy with grime

How bad I wanna talk to you, but you don’t want to
How I hope you’ll see me next to you, but you don’t seem to
…The way you choose not to

You’re like a beautiful touch me not
Closing away at the slightest touch…my touch
I only wish I could describe it as shying away, but I know you’re not

I ll never know where I went wrong,
I ll never know why I wasn't good enough...
Was it the way I caressed your hair?
Was it the way I touched your cheeks?
Was it the way I held your hands?
Was it the way I blushed when you looked at me?
Was it the way I laughed at your not so funny jokes?
Was it the way I kissed you all night?
Was it the way I hugged you so tight?
Was it the way I called to say goodnight?
Was it the way I texted to say I miss you?
Was is the way I got worried when you were sick?
Was is the way I knew all your favorites?
Was it the way I told you I love you?
Was it the way I gave my all to you?
Where did I go wrong ??
Please tell me this,
Why wasn't I enough?
And so I leave this place of old,
Nothing makes me stay no memory i can hold.

No bars to hold me in a lonely shack,
No reason to hesitate and ever look back.

No hand to hold to sway the makings of my mind,
No love to return, only emptiness i can find.

But i leave with one last glance looking at the sun,
Thinking of all the moments i had fun.

I listen to one last song to ease my sorrow,
I listen hard and think of things that might come to follow.

And so i greet the doors of my departure,
Onward to the halls of an uncertain future.

I know my texts don't excite you anymore,
But you are polite enough to reply it anyway
And if I call you, you'll receive it too
But I know you cringe when you hear my voice
Just for the night , you needed me
Just for that one night
The night's already over
But I m not over you yet

I remember everything, so clearly in my head
How beautifully you sang, & I sang along with you
How you made me laugh, laugh & laugh so hard
How you held my hands & we tried to dance
How your lips blew life to my cold and dry spirit
How the butterflies in my stomach fluttered
How my cheeks turned crimson and I looked away
But you kept on staring at me
Like  you wanted to fall in love...

I did not undress my body that night,
I undressed my soul
I put it right in front you
Just in its purest form
I let you see me,
See all my imperfections
I told you all my fears,
The secrets I hid inside,
I thought this is it,
This is what I had been looking for,
My soul was happy
And thought it had found "THE ONE"

Little did I know, it was only for the night
Just for that one night
So tell me who do I blame?
Blame you for setting up my hopes high
Or blame me for believing the truth like lie
Or should I just blame the night?
The night for lasting just awhile.......
I don't want to be yours
Your *******
Your side chic
Your main
I don't want to be your ex
girlfriend or wife
I don't want to be in a box you have framed for me
I can't be the mom
I can't be the wife
I can't be the girl

Cause I'm so much more
Then the standard flowers
The chocolates and sweets on valentines
Day

Cause you deserve so much more
Then to declare your love
to someone without it

I deserve so much less

Cause honey boy
You may love me today but tomorrow I'm changed
Tomorrow I won't be the me you want me to be
and that's ok

So keep your love and find it somewhere anew

A cookie cutter girl
Who is kind to you
Cause she will be what you want her to be

And then make the promises you plan on keeping
Just not to me
Tell me your secrets and I will lock them in my soul.
Tell me what are you missing and I will make you whole.
Tell me your fear and I will become your strength.
Tell me where will you meet and I will jump any length.
Tell me what you love and I will bring it to you.
Tell me you love me and I will never leave you.
Tell me you need me and I will be there.
Tell me what scares you and you don't have to fear.
Tell me if you don't want me and you will never see me again.
Tell me to go away and still I will protect you from any pain.
Tell me to wait and I will for an eternity.
Tell me what should I do to find my sanity.
Tell me just tell me.
Worst goodbyes are those when you haven't exchange goodbyes...

Shobhit
Every evening around seven
I grow restless seeking for my haven
searching for a single beam to survive
A desperate attempt to dive

The crater that I had been filling the whole day
with egoes and ashes of my sweat
expands itself so big and deep
******* me into it to settle the debt
I just stand there breathing only half
the poltergeist inside allows no
air to pass
all I do is take this massive sighs
only way to end this is just let it go by

I go around the town
in a gait of a drunk clown
unprecedented steps
unprecedented goals
unprecedented plans
this unprecedented hole
Not a single soul I can trust
Nor can I let it go
I just feel so **** alone
for a moment wishing my heart to burst

Just when I feel I cannot take it anymore
and I get down to shut the door
the clock strikes nine
and I hear it so very loud
there goes away the scary black cloud
and I suddenly get all very fine.

If some one could explain me
this ridiculous pang
or else one of these day I will end this with a bang....

these ****** couple of hours...
