BARREN WITHIN
When it happens
You won’t want to believe it
Who once so close
Now afar, blur, yards away
For once, the ecstatic friendship
And now, a blot of silence
How impeccable laughter, unending chats
Changed into bare stares
Funny pranks, unending talks
We had it all
But one fine day
It didn’t matter anymore
You were sorry
Pleaded a lot
I was too hurt
I burnt you to dot
Scroll through my contacts
Stop at your name
Almost call, but don’t
Suddenly feeling abandoned and confused
Things went high
Outa proportion, outa hands
We had stabbed each other yet again
Finally had nothing to begin
My mind knew
I was missing you
But I was just too stubborn
To admit it
Time went by
Silence, silence
Until one day
After a long delay
We finally met each other
Showing our egos held high
With the fake pride that everything’s fine
Yet killing oneself inside
As I walked away
I knew I needed you back
Yet took a huge breath
And claimed there’s nothing like that
As days went by,
This urge too, kept haunting
It had made its full appearance
And finally made its will
It started off well
But crashed as it was set to sail
And I knew from your words
That I meant nothing to you anymore
I wanted to meet
You claimed talks to be waste
If so were the talks,
What less would I be?
Keeping my head held high
I took my words to your defend
To cover the pain
You had rocketed at my heart
The talks ended there
You replaced me to the other
That’s something I couldn’t bare
Maybe it’s all lost
Maybe it’s my fault
Yet you let go
Even though you said
You never would….
