You
With each passing second of the day,
All my life's work stare right at me,
Making me wonder if it was worth it,
To let you go for a life which suffocates me.
We had known each other since college,
From the rash arrogant classmate I was,
To the most popular girl that you were,
Yet we clicked the first day when we had set our gaze upon one and other.
We had stated a dream of an empire together,
Irrespective of the feelings we had,
Years had passed,
And the feelings died.
But who knew that it would be short lived,
I had become what we had dreamt about about,
With the empire now built,
On the broken ambitions of the people we knew.
The very foundation being set and the dream turning into reality,
I look behind me only to find you lost in your thoughts,
With the look that you had when you first met me,
That was the moment when I realized what I had lost.
Now as I see you leaving me,
You have left me thinking,
About you and why you hadn't left me for my inabilities,
I had fought hard to protect you when you were petrified.
You never had been complained about how I had never been there for you,
Yet you stood behind me when I needed a driving force forward,
And now as you go,
I remember the time we had spent building our dream.
Only to see how you sacrificed your life for mine,
While I did the same for you,
Doing everything in my capacity,
If only you could have seen me.
If only you had ventured into my eyes,
And lost your self in the land unknown,
You would have seen the palace I had built for you,
What is love? People ask me today,
And like a dumbfounded child all I can think about is you.
