Bridge The Gap

We have sealed our lips,

Curled-up our tongues,

Cupped our ears

And no words are uttered.

"How are you? How has life been?",

Is a mere formality statement

"I'm doing good. Life is great!",

Our true feelings roll down the pavement.

You keep boiling with concealed emotions

While I stay in a pensive mood,

Trying to decipher your facial expressions

But, you don't speak, you turn rude.

What is it that you have been keeping in

That weighs your heart down

And makes your head spin?

I wish to erase that frown.

Breathe out those words with ease

Don't bother, "what he/she might think?"

It won't be difficult: flow like a breeze

If you wish, pen it down in fresh ink.

I swear you'd feel better in a blink

And bring back that innocent smile:

Don't ever let it shrink.

Now, that's a good style!
