The Bullet she fired

He enchanted every time he heard her voice,
He celebrated every moment with her,
He often danced to her rhythm,
He was delighted to find her,
If God asked him, what do you need in life,
He would want a forever with her,
She once had been crazy,
She had been impressed by his approach to her,
She was once dead,and couldn’t feel,
He made her feel, he made her alive,
They chased each other,
For time to spend together,
She gave him a forever within the numbered days,
For him,it were the best days of his life,
For her, it was just a phase,
He recalls her every single day,
Wonders how beautiful life had been,
She had been tangled,
With the toughest choices to make,
She chose to leave,
A slightest thought from her,
Of How he would survive without her,
Could have changed his present,
He lost her, the one that glittered his life and had made it worth living,
Like a bullet fired, she shot his heart,
To taste the chronic pain of a lifetime without her!

The Missing One

One odd evening it was,
The sun was about to set,
The sky started turning dark,
The sea waves touched his feet,
As he sat alone on a deserted beach.
His eyes,wept,
With every single thought that went across his mind,
His heart beats,were faster than ever,
He was missing her,
Alone he had been since they departed,
She meant the world to him,
Her presence made wonders,
His joy had been indifferent,
But she had to leave,
To make him all alone,
He lives down with her memories,
Remembers how she enlightened him,
Strangers passing by,
Amazed seeing him,
He was alive but he was soulless,
He is gonna be right there,
Waiting for her,
Even though he knows,
She will never return,
But thats all he needs in life,
To be lost in a world with her,
And be wrapped around her arms!

Taken for Granted

I did what I did,
I did what I could,
I gave my whole heart to You,
I gave my whole life to You,
I was into a complete submission to You,
Whole my time was spent in your thoughts,
All of my efforts were to bring you closer,
Knowing the truth You broke me down,
I wept a thousand gallons,
I felt terribly hit,
Coz you hit me at a place that I had never thought,
You proved me wrong,
And made realize that You took me for Granted.
You made my eyes bleed,
You made my life a disaster,
And like an Earthquake, You tore my world apart.
I am dying here,
Taking my last breath,
Thinking how you changed,
I never realized until it was time,
And I fell prey knowing I was taken for Granted.
You won’t miss me,
You won’t think about me,
You will never want me,
Because the truth is You Took me for Granted.
I will never return,
I would never want to ever,
Because All my life I thought about you,

And I now know I had been taken for Granted by You.

The Feeling

I knew I was carrying false hopes,
I knew I had been living in an imaginary world,
I knew I was dreaming of a day which won’t come,
I knew I was going to fall,
But I never tried to evade.

I could see everything falling apart,
I saw my heart was breaking into pieces,
Just like the rivers dry out without rain,
My life seemed useless without love.

I tried being stronger,
Eventually I was getting weaker,
I was in search of Joys,
Sorrows were in my fate.

Life had become a suffering,
Nothing ever was pleasing,
The smile of my face,
Got vanished in the long chase.

I didn’t know where I went wrong,
But I realized where did I belong.
I found Darkness all around,
Finally I could not hear a sound.

The heartbeats stopped,
And I woke up with an empty thought,
The devil dragged me to hell,
And I dwelled into that shell.

The Betrayal

He was stressed,
With every passing hour,
His pain got deeper,
Losing his strength,
He betrayed himself,
Chose the destination,
Which takes him away from the world,
He had been clueless,
How he lost her,
The cutest smile of his face,
Had faded with her departure,
Every thought of his mind,
Unveiled the wonderful times they shared,
The once fun loving person,
Had turned too depressive,
Now he walks on the path,
That leads him to death,
He will soon go astray,
For he has betrayed himself in way that the world shall never see him ever!

Shades of Darkness

He had been profound,
With all his thoughts prevailing,
From the deepest borders,
Of his broken heart.
The wounds never meant to heal,
His brain conceal the secrets,
The sparks that she put into him,
Enlightened him like a recreation,
The Joyous him was discovered.
He had been filled with Enthusiasm,
And A will to survive and breath,
Was the change noticed in him.
Lest it had been a temporary phase,
When the volcano erupted,
His heart had been into pieces,
Fired up with hopes,
He dwells in the shades of darkness,
Where he lives in her remembrance,
Everlasting dreams of a life with her,
He reconciled himself to live with this pain,
Isolated thy name above all,
Perished his emotions,
Wore a mask of smile,
To prove the world that he is strong,
Engraved thy name on his chest,
Sees the society defying his love,
For the fools heedless of truth,
He relives every second,
In the shades of Darkness for the one he Loved!

Miles away you’ve gone

It’s an awful thing whenever it happens
Life plays game in every aspects
And I’m so sick of it
Trying to forget it

I am so lost in thoughts of hers
Forgetting her is more than worst
In my fear and in my pain
I can’t recall what’s her name

I walked down empty handed
Fate was in line but apprehended
I am standing on the same old spot
Wondering where my heart collide

Everything is gonna be okay
Everything is gonna be alright
Just needed little bit of help
To make us stand with pride

Miles away you’ve gone
Stepping out the long run
Missing those days when I used to play with your nose
Missing those times when I used to share my thoughts

This emptiness is driving me crazy
I am missing you all the way
Every hour goes like a day
Every day falls like decades
I’m thinking of your evergreen smile
Eyes that melt my heart inside
All the way I’m missing you again
There are no days that goes without your name
I Miss you ❤️

The Deserted Island

Sailing across the oceans,
Heading in search of peace,
Trying to find something,
Which could make me alive,
I was on a trip to the seven oceans,
To find a place where I would be unknown,
As the storm hit late in the nights of winter,
My boat sank into the deepest level of the oceans,
I swam a few miles,
To find myself on a Deserted Island.
Cold were the nights and I was freezing,
Searching for warmth,I found shelter under the trees.
Woke up to a bright new dawn,
Only thing I could see was the blue sky,wherein I survived, around me was the ocean spread wide,
The sound of sea waves hitting the shore was all I heard,
I walked around the island that stretched almost a mile, with no traces of mankind ever dwelled.
Days & Nights passed in succession when no one came to rescue,
So was the story when love entered my life,
Beautiful had been the life,
It lasted a while until the stars of my constellation had to collide,
Like the big bang I shattered into pieces,with no hopes alive. Disgraceful had the life become, with no bliss ever to come. Times had changed and I had to fall, from the peak of the everest to the depth of Pacific, and love was the thing which tore me apart.
PS – I Love You!

The Dark Room

Distressed from my pain,
Sick of emotions,
When the time of day had changed,
The sky was covered with stars,
And there was me,
Sitting in the dark room.
Lights turned off,
With no sound of human,
My thoughts breaking me abruptly,
I fell prey in the city of Love.
Feelings wouldn’t let me survive,
The constant thoughts of her,
Made me insane,
The path that I chose led me astray,
I couldn’t stood still,
With every tick tock of the clock,
Life seemed a burden,
The breaths wanted to stop,
The eyes wanted to weep,
The heart ached too bad,
I was then submerged,
With darkness filled in my life.
Waiting for the angels to call upon,
My ears await for them to say its your turn,
In the heavens I shall meet,
If only God would will,
And I would then be Victorious,
To push away all the darkness that her Distance got!

How I missed You

Living with a bunch of Memories,
Pouring from my eyes,
I sat down the lane,
Where I first held your Hand.
Like a flashback of beautiful times,
My mind was filled of your thoughts,
I gazed across the street,
I saw people staring,
Thinking what I was upto,
Down with my broken heart,
I wondered How I missed you.
My heart sank in the ocean,
Which was filled by your feelings,
I started to feel alone,
Coz I couldn’t see you anymore.
I rolled back to the pictures of ours,
Captured when blessings got showered,
I couldn’t think of a day when You wouldn’t be around,
But the fate had to be cruel,
To take me away from You!
Now I lie down,
Closing my eyes,
To remember those days,
When Happiness was You!
I do now realised,
How much I Missed You!
I do now realised,
How much You mean to Me!
