"I Love You"














Her teardrop betrayed
The 'I love you' she never said
The pain that she felt
Couldn't make his heart melt
For how would he know sitting miles away?
That this distance made her cry everyday
She languished to be within his sight
To see him, touch him, hug him so tight!
Her heart thus yearned to be his dear
But all he cared was for his career
He knew not of the love she hid in her heart
She feared rejection would keep them apart
Thus secretly she loved, openly only as a friend
To ensure her love story doesn't come to an end
It was bitter sweet, this love story of hers
Overwhelmed by love but not to be lovers
Only if she had mustered the courage to tell
She could have known that he liked her as well
Yes, he liked her, very much indeed
But he too was afraid to confess & concede
Hearing tales of unrequited love's aftermath
He chose to avoid this unpredictable path
Working hard, burning midnight oil
He wanted to overcome life's turmoil
To be hers, he had to become successful in life
Only then he dare ask, " Will you be my wife?"
Oblivious, she carried on loving him
Tormented and slowly withering within
While he suppressed his feelings to work harder still
And prove to be someone that love she will
Little did they know, much happiness was lost
Confession is risky but acceptance is worth the cost
Loving is easy, confessing is brave
Love should never be taken to the grave
Professing love is the most beautiful act
It's the only time you need no tact
When your heart beats fast and the lips tremble
Hope for the best, the love you could assemble
Knowing they are special will not displease
Move their heart & they shall not tease
If perhaps they don't love you back
Don't mourn, cut yourself some slack
For love is a quality that you possess
It is the same, even after you confess
Love doesn't need love, when it's true
So say merrily, "I love you"

Goodbye

Image
After yet another tiresome day at college I dragged my dreary legs to my puny room in our old hostel. Exhausted I fell flat on the bed. Before I could even grab a wink’s sleep I suddenly recalled that I had to check my mail for some assignment. Reluctantly I turned on the laptop and opened  my email. There it was- the 1 st mail from our Professor! Oh! How I wanted him to disappear! Then I wouldn't have to struggle to complete the work on time!! Not bothering to look at the next mails I opened Facebook and turned on the chat. As expected none of my buddies were online. I smirked thinking they must be as dead tired as I was. I was about to log out when I got a message from my elder brother- “Goodbye, sis” I knew he was trying to annoy me as usual. Who starts the chat with a “goodbye” after all?  I was too tired to continue with his prank and replied in hurry- “Go to hell” I logged out and went back to check my mails. I opened the second ...

LONE

This post is a part of Write Over the Weekend , an initiative for Indian Bloggers by BlogAdda  I was a reject. They left me unscathed, with no scars, no scratches. They spared me because I was of no use to them. I wished I was. I wished someone, even Death, would care to embrace me. I knew it the moment I first felt the golden rays of the sun. I knew from the day I was born that this life will never be easy. I was a foreigner, a stranger here.  I was subjected to ridicule without any mercy.  They treated me like a stray, my only crime, my curse. In this dense forest of sandalwood I was that lone tree of different birth........ The shrieks of my brothers as they were being sawed from their roots echoed through the hills. The sound of branches being snapped, the crunch of twigs under the monster’s feet, the wailing wind….it seemed an eternity before the forest was calm again. As I watched these monsters haul away every single lifeless trunk, I shed no tear....

Tears Lost In The Rain

                                                                              On a rainy day she was walking all alone. It was raining hard but she had no umbrella. The raindrops fell sharply on her bare skin, piercing and cold. The thin cotton dress that clung to her wet body was just not enough to stop the shivering. She was certainly shivering from the cold…or was she?? The tears that flowed down her cheeks were lost after mingling with the rain on her face. She shivered again as the memory came back to her in a flash. It happened not too long ago….two months back or was it just yesterday? She had already lost track of time. She hardly remembered anything other than the incident itself. She remembered that the rains had just begun after the hot sultry summers. It was raining hard ...
