The Long Goodbye

The Long Goodbye

The table in front of him was trashed, 

With papers and files laying around, 

With the dustbin with burning papers, 

Sat there a man kneeling down. 

Wondering where did he get wrong, 

From the star performer to the star failure, 

A journey from the top of the mountain, 

To the depth to ocean, 

He did whatever was right for the job, 

Sacrificing his life for the world full of paper towers and pen stacks, 
Breaking down every point of limitations 
Only to find a way to excel in his art. 

He did everything to provide her a life of satisfaction, 
A life of no complaints, 
For him she completed him, 
The only fault of his was that he forgot her. 

While trying to make himself, 
He forgot the main thing that made him who he was, 
It was not the stack of money in his bank or the expensive ride outside his house, 
It was nothing but her. 

She was the only one who had his back, 
Only to be realised that it was only one person in that relationship,
She tried to be with him, 
Reason with him destroying his world of myths and workaholic lifestyle.

Denting his life into a million pieces,
Trying to rebuild his life but it was just a menace,
Only to find him to be a brittle soul,
And she was not the glue to hold them together.

Just what they thought was a mere cadaver, 
And a worthless effort to resuscitate it,
She left him to be better only to see him fall, 
From the world of heaven he fell to the scorched land of hell. 

Only to see the world around him collide, 
And crumble down to their very foundations, 
Then he found a letter from her, 
Only to say him a long goodbye.

Teardrops from the Sky

Teardrops From The Sky

Life at a stand still, 
Everything around him just tearing apart, 
Just as a ship engulfed in a storm,
His heart was breaking apart, 

The man who had everything, 
Felt like the man who lost his biggest possession,
His biggest strength was just his worst weakness, 
In a whirlpool of memories that he is a victim of.

Her memories now have taken him as their captive, 
Beautiful she was and brutally honest were her thoughts,
He had lost his heart in a split second, 
Knowing that his life would now only revolve around her. 

Everyday he worked hard to be the man she wanted, 
Being ruthless at his business, 
Diplomatic at his best and a fixer when he wanted to be,
With her around he used to be himself. 

She found the shy little kid inside him, 
Making him feel alive every now and then,
Giving him all the love in the world, 
Pampering the little kind inside him. 

Who had a clue that the very kid she pampered, 
Was just a ghost from his life, 
Buried deep inside all the hate that made him, 
His biggest pillar would collapse underneath his reality. 

She left him the very moment what she thought was the right time, 
Not knowing that how she would destroy him, 
In an attempt to save him, 
She took away his heart and burnt his memories. 

Stripping him of his life, 
Leaving him during his struggles with life, 
Not knowing what he was enduring from his past, 
Forgetting her was easy but the memories that now haunted him were forever. 

Breaking himself again, 
Destroying everything that was a reminder of her memory, 
Slashing his body to be filled with scars, 
And getting her out of his system was his task. 

As the clouds settled in, 
Wreaking havoc on the world as it is, 
With the last drop of rain,
His eyes twinkled for the last time.

As he coughed his blood, 
He knew she would see him, 
With one last step forward from him on the ledge, 
Bleeding from his wrists. 

He jumps with a smile on his face, 
And his eyes with a little tear, 
In an instance she glances up, 
To see the teardrops from the sky.
