The Sunset

The Sunset

While the world slept;

A lost soul was waking up, 

To a world which was pure, 
With the future still waiting for you, 
Just you.

With the worldly logics and norms;
Beyond your understanding, 
With the spirit in you like a caged bird, 
You had to endure the norms and the protocols of this world. 

The bird in you took a blow;
Bleed till it couldn't raise its wings, 
You were there amongst us, 
Masquerading as something you were never meant to be, 

You always wanted to fly into the sunset;
With dreams in your eyes,
Lost in the clutter of protocols and rules,
Saw you flutter in frustration. 

The wearisome life you lived;
Took a turn when everything you work to be.
Became a reason for your collapse,
Thinking of you as something else. 

She fell in love with you; 
For the person you really were, 
She saw the bird in the cage, 
Choking on the person you were trying to masquerade as. 

You erupted upon what you had with her;
Feeling naked, 
Fathoming upon the very thought, 
That how could she see through you. 

Everything around you seemed grey; 
But slowly the shackles started to rust, 
And the bird saw a crack in the cage,
With one big blow it was unleashed to a new world.

With freedom being the new flavour;
Your colours started to fill this black and white world,
With destiny playing its best, 
You fly out to bring the one back.

Watching the bird fly out in the sunset;
You try to find her daily in your dreams,
As each day the sun rising, 
Your quest to find the one to be your companion cements.

She had to go;
Playing a role in your story, 
Just to set your soul free, 
And your dream alive. 

While you pondered about her whereabouts,
She was there torturing herself for leaving you, 
No mattered how hard she tried you never forgave her, 
One day there will come a time, 
When she would enter back your life, 
Just for you to tell the world another story.
