Perspective Per Se

What appears may not be the one,

You looked for;

And what You looked for,

May not appear as such.

Every breath counts,

And so are the beats of heart;

But hardly it is felt,

Unless they sail apart.

Death acted my lover,

Life being my love;

It ends when we meet,

Amidst an illusion that wove.

Over the grave of my emotions,

You scaffold a sheet of warmth;

That though meant to be cozy,

But was no more to be felt.

The earth got wet,

With drops of my tears;

But there was no scream,

It all vanished in silence.

You defined our bond,

Finding hard to maintain;

All I had is a mirror,

That shared my smiles and tears.

Those tears were unseen,

As if hiding below a blanket;

But they were there,

Waiting for a wipe.

I wished if You could've read,

Those words that hid inside;

But I lost to You,

In your perspective per se.
