The star is slowly dying
drifting away from the moon
all his life he wished
for some attention from the moon
all his life he tried to shine
as brightly as it could
to outshine the others stars
that surrounded the moon
but now, as his life ends,
he regrets the time he spent
trying to please someone
who, for all his life, was
unaware of his presence
Around him.
Why should I compare myself with you
when your words have different meanings
when your heart beats at different beat
How long have I lived in your shadow?
thriving to shine like you, high, up and above,
while completely ignoring my flickering light,
flickering because of my lack of care and validation,
Why should I be depressed seeing your success
when our ladders to climb above are different
when our destinations and the roads we took are different
How long have I taken to realize this?
Yet another year has gone by
there is nothing to look back
even if I would, all I would find is
half hearted resolutions and
broken self promises.
Nothing is going to change in 2k14
The same old routine will follow by
from morning till evening in a single monotone,
everything will just remain the same
except my body will age and
my soul would decay even more.
It maybe a new year for the world
but for me it is just another
change of my wall calender.
Behind my screen,
I watch new flourishing friendships,
the love, the care and the concern,
flowing in between of the letters,
bringing smile on worried faces.
Behind my screen,
I watch words creating magic
bringing close, strangers from far away
whom they have never met
whom they will, probably, never meet
MashaAllah.. such pain
because when it’s time to part
you are ripped apart
so viciously,
as one part of the whole
craves the other
bleeding out of sorrow,
torn, weeping for the other half.
You feel like,
you are the victim
and I am the player
You feel like,
you are the one hurt
and I am the one happy
You feel and you deduce,
all that you see on my face,
and that is why you keep
making the same mistake
My heart, just like yours,
is not free from pain
but my face, unlike yours,
has stopped reacting
to what my heart says.
He finally confessed his feelings..
There was a long silence between them , he was expecting an answer,
Yes or no, he was prepared for both,
But she was quiet, no words,
no display of emotions,
His palms begin to sweat
As he tried to read through the silence
He tried to be patient, it was hard for him,
She remained silent and then she slowly turned away
She turned and started to walk away with heavy feet
He didn’t know what to do
Tears started dripping from his eyes
As he stood there,
with loss of words,
Caught in the storm of silence
Watching the love of his life
Slowly going far away from him,
Leaving him with nothing but,
Silence.
If I could
then I would.
Words fall from my keyboard
Crash landing on your page
While you wonder about this sudden invasion
I feel like a loser for making
the same mistake again
