Silence...

You haven’t slept, yet. You've turned away 

I see you’re sobbing, I say sorry 

You don’t listen or respond

You keep crying, make me guilty

Of the vows that I took, and promised not to cause you sadness

To see that you always smiled and were taken care

At times I fail, like a human. While this bond is much beyond

I caress your soft hand and you pull back to rub your wet eyes

I gently touch your cheeks from behind and plant a kiss

You shove my hand away 

Silence prevails

I have said sorry once, I can’t go on. My ego gets hurt

I wait for you to turn back and hug me, with acceptance

But just silence prevails

Sometime later you turn back and check on me

If I was really snoring, when I was

And I try to touch you another time, while you were deep asleep

A whole night is thus spent.

The moon waited outside to see us make up

The trees sent some leaves through the windows to show they cared

But the night didn't wait. It ran out in silence

A hot Sun pierced from the horizon

I see that you had woken up, to get my breakfast

I look at you, you look at me

And the love can’t be paused anymore

We break promises each day, yet make new ones

Not another night, we shall spend apart

But like a cycle’s wheel, that night is here again

I turn everywhere in darkness, not to find you anywhere…

Only, silence prevails
