I stand on the precipice of life
Seeing down below moments
flashing to and fro in a jiffy.
Waiting for my dried tears to flow.
But it won’t, it’s so used to it.
I have given you all I have.
This predicament is not
The thing of yesterday .
I was such a fool and still now,
I neither knew tricks nor was a phony.
This lonesome air and rays
All what I have and what I admire,
I talk to them, I have few friends
But Everytime plastic smiles win.
So, i left them too.
The hushed air whispered something,
I saw the tangerine rays dissolving
I wanted to dissolve like them .
I now regret smiling with you ,
I regret those moments flashing
In the vitreous of my eyes,
And all tears, witnessed by most High.
This has taken an overwhelming toll
from me who had meagre mirth.
I turned the pages of time and
Began distorting your
Engraved name on my heart.
With that I was withering,
I wasn’t as strong as you thought.
