Unrequited

The lillies you sent

Have withered away

But will the roses

In my heart shrivel?

Have been ages

Since our paths crossed

How long will

The footprints snuggle?

I am drenched in rain

I yearn for sunshine

And yet when you ask-

I am fine, just fine!!

I paint your face

On the canvas of clouds

Your laughter echoes

In the midst of crowds

I cry your name

On the highest of peaks

Do you tremble too

In my screams, my shrieks?

I'll always be yours

And you'll never be mine

And yet when you ask-

I am fine, just fine!!

I ache for you

In dawn and twilight

I wish I could steal

One smile, one sight

Near ocean waves,

I smell your breath

And hollow I feel,

Come life come death

Its unbearable

Like a broken spine

And yet when you ask-

I am fine, just fine!!

Oh yes! I eat

And live and laugh

But since you left

I am reduced to a half

You took my soul

And heartbeat too

Guess I am unable to love now

I am through

The memories haunt

So do moments divine

But I toast to your happiness

A toast of wine,

Now please don't ask-

Coz I am fine, just fine!!
