*Distorted Dreams*

I thought I was complete
Had my tree’s shade blocking me from the scorching heat.
In her presence, my dark roads were again lightened,
Felt so fortunate to have a blend of pearl & diamond.

I actually had someone held my hand
Accepted the water along with sand
I felt the world through her heart,
Our soul was one and no one could do us apart

I was the kohl of her eyes,
Through them, everything appeared paradise.
She gripped me like a teddy bear,
Vivified me, losing her became my biggest fear.

The fear turned into reality soon,
The night faded, what left alone was moon
Though so many stars supported me around,
But died to hear, the night’s sound

Her memories are my most treasured possession
Which probe me to look for some unanswered questions? 

THOSE ROMANTIC WALKS
THOSE TOUCHY AND SENTI TALKS
THE GETTING WET IN THE RAIN
MEETING EACH OTHER AND GOING INSANE
LISTENING TO SOFT SONGS AND CRYING
LOVING EACH OTHER AND STILL DENYING
THOSE COMMITMENTS, THOSE PROMISES,
ILLOGICAL ARGUMENTS AND SUDDEN KISSES
CLOSE ENCOUNTERS AND CORNER SEATS OF THE MOVIE HALL
THAT MATCH MAKING AND HUNDRED’S OF MISSED CALLS
GIVING ARCHIES STUFF TOYS FROM POCKET MONEY
ADDRESSING WITH WORDS LIKE JAAN & HONEY

What do all these acts show?
Was I an object of use-n-throw?

If the feelings and emotions are just so fake,
Why do people put their life at stake?

To me, it appears like sugar-coated spinach,
Its first half is sweet, but the end is DITCH!!!
