Melody

From the corner of my eye
Falls a wet shapeless being
Away from the sights of the world beyond
Unknown, Unheard, Unseen
My heart withers today
As I hear that old melody again
The one that had disappeared
in the dance of our first rain
I can't believe fall's already here
And it looks like it's here to remain
As the world swears by my bright hues
I silently dry up inside
I dance in pain for one more time
As I play that old melody again

I Feared

I feared.

I feared that the vigor of someone else's sight would damage your beauty. So, I turned off all the lights around you. I feared that the touch of another body would cause you a scar. Hence, I covered your skin with bandage. I feared that your words would gain you attention. And so, I killed your contemplation with my arguments. I feared that your laughter would make you popular. Popular among the people who could take you away from me. Hence, I never spared you to come out of your pain. I feared that the sound of your breath would make you audible to the world around us. And, unknowingly, I choked you to death.

But I loved you baby.
I loved you so much that I feared losing you.

My apprehension

It's been months since I saw you. And I know I will wait months to see you again.

With each passing moment, I can see our souls distancing further. But the chain that ties our hearts keeps getting stronger. Tied to this chain, we have now begun to bleed. And when we get to talk, it's only those wounds that shape our discussions. No more hasty dreams. No more imaginary moments of solitude. Romance is a thing of the past.

Sometimes I wonder when our lives will move again. Will the distances between us grow enough to separate us? Or will the strength of our bond help fill all the gaps?

And if we do get back to each other, will our hearts bear anything more than the pain that we embraced in the name of love? Will our affair retain the same flavor that it possessed at it's conception? Will that old spark reignite?
