Your eyes read words,
that your lips refused to speak
and those I yearned to listen…
Our hearts did beat in sync,
but our silence roared louder!
Amid a crowded room,
I still felt lost,
not because people failed to
bring a smile on my face,
but because of the absence of that one,
who only tried to make my heart smile!
Dressed at my best,
just to strike a conversation with you,
like those you’d have with my colleagues;
but let alone being called a joker,
I realized I’d be the one you never compliment!
Yes! I do not wish you to be,
like the mirror in Snow-white’s story,,
but ever wondered if it’s fair,
to be just like the butter-paper,
when I reflect your emotions
just like a perfect mirror?!
That day, the way you revolted back,
when fingers were pointed towards
your parents, someone that dear to you;
I wished to be the one,
that you’d be possessive after them!
I wished for once, you’d stand for me,
the way you’d do for them,
even though I’d never get a raise
in your chart of life’s priority…
To be continued….
