SKETCHES DIRECT FROM HEART

Some beautiful things do not last forever

LEAVE ME!!!!

Let me go!
It was nice when you called me,
And asked me to come along to a beautiful world.
I had you beside me as a support,
And I knew I could trust you.
You made me work for you as I desired to.
You made me smile as I was working for you.
When I was giving way to my heart for trusting you more,
You took me along with you,
Tied my hands to a pole,
Smiled at me and happily left.
I screamed and called you to help me out.
You turned a deaf ear to all that.
I tried to escape and struggled alone
As there was nobody I could call upon.
I hurt myself, my hands bled,
Yet i tried and tried.
When I was free, I came to you,
And found you ignoring me.
I wept and I saw you smiling.
I feel like approaching you,
And hitting you hard for hurting me.
But, I don't want to be an idiot like you.
I was good to you and I will be good to people
Because your selfishness will not affect my originality.
You hurt because you lack something called heart.
I don't.

ODE TO LOST LOVE

I was like a lost bird,
Wandering in the blue sky very high.
I never looked down.
I never feared to die.
You called me from behind,
Gave me a dream and reason to live,
Held my hand and took me along.
I lowered my pace,
So as to be with you for long.
I looked into our eyes and saw that glow.
You gave me everything without a "NO".
You changed my life and showed me heaven.
I was a Dove and no more a Raven.

Then came a dark cloud,
And blackened our path.
We left our hands and moved apart.
The darkness widespread and immensely fierce,
Neither let me find you nor stop my tears.
I again was a lost bird, lost in thoughts.
I lost the reason to live and never feared to die again.
