A D-Decade

It has been a quiet, unyielding decade,
After the strangling goodbye I had no choice but to make.
With each passing day, I find myself becoming someone new;
But I realise, I’m just a winter without the dew…

You were the brightest star on the canvas of my family,
But since you left, the canvas is all dull and empty.
You were the strongest pillar in the house of our family,
But since you left, it has been shattered into a million pieces.

There’s no one to hear me out anymore,
I feed all my emotions to this paper, therefore.
It’s not that I didn’t try to reach you,
But only to find you’ve left my ship too, like the rest of the crew…

So loneliness has become my steadfast soul mate,
We stay with each other, and even go out on dates.
It’s funny how my friends think I’m paranoid,
When they don’t know what dwells inside me is just a soul filled with a lifeless void…

Hence, I’m reciting all my emotional scribbles to you loud,
For the sun in my sky has been taken forever by the clouds.
It rains in my heart—hour by hour, minute by minute, second by second,
Yet your footprints remain fresh, as they were, even after a decade…

My Fading Star

I waited for days, weeks, months—
And guess what? Now it has been years.

You couldn’t have left me, could you?
Cause I see you still; I know, I do.

I see you in the morning
That calls the birds away from home to work.

I see you in the evening sky,
When the sun sets and golden light blesses every soul.

I see you in the night sky,
Whose calmness and tranquility coax everyone into dreams…

But do you see me?
As I stare at the sky, do you see me?
When I run wild, do you see me?
When my pillows are soaked with tears, do you see me?
When I can’t see myself, do you see me?

Did it end, or did it never begin?
Was I in a dream that became my reality?
They say I am going mad,
But I know I am not…

Cause they won’t believe the promises you made,
And I won’t believe that you broke them all…

But I wish you had taken me with you.
I wish you had never left me,
Cause all this is so hard
And the pain is blinding…

But I have faith in you,
So I am ready to wait and wait,
Until I meet the fading star in my galaxy.
