Voices

Woke up from a slumber 

To a voice , whose? I don't know 

 

I heard the window ask 

"Was it you who opened this curtains 

To see the world you imagined it to be ? " 

 

"It wasn't me sire" I replied quietly 

But the good old days , which seems far-fetched now 

 

Again I heard a voice 

 

This time I heard the door question 

"Was it you who opened me with a smile ?

For the person you loved , whose name unknown"

 

"it wasn't me" I answered in denial 

But the loneliness that made me do it 

It was a crime I know 

I was very naïve if you believe so...

 

Again a voice 

 

This time the walls begged to know

"Is it you , whose pictures hung here 

Was it you too whose laughter still echoes 

Is this the picture of the person whom u lost 

 

"It isn't us " I replied with a bitter smile 

Tears blurring my vision 

"It was the numerous fake promises and useless hopes that

got crushed 

 

I thought the voices will stop

I clutched my ears with my trembling hands 

 

This time the voice came from inside of me

 

"Was it you two who dreamed of a future together ? 

Was it you two whose breath synced so beautifully, it became a melody ? 

Does the melody haunts you till now? 

Was it you who waited ? Was it him who never came? 

Was it you two in the end or was it only you 

Or was it no one but the memories which talked 

 

Those question left unanswered 

I will never answer those again
