Blue Night Star!





Hello…To the one up there…
For the first time, we speak!
Forgive me, I lack the smile!
You did smile at me yesterday!
As today passes and tomorrow comes
You will still smile at me!

I see your bling-bling eyes - But
I look at your lonely heart!
Are your days harder like mine?
Are your nights darker like mine?
Is it getting hard to breathe?
Is that why you’re an insomniac?

Loneliness is the path we walk!
Misery is the air we breathe!
Faint-hearted is we, all the time!
Sleep is one thing we long!
Pain is one thing we have!
Look! We are not so different!
  
Everything for me ends with you!
I see you! You see me!
My love circle ends with us!
I feel like I’ve gone transparent!
Do you feel the same way?

I cannot see you be the
same like me! Cry to me!
I'll only be ears and shoulders!
It’s okay to feel lonely, at times!
Let out a deep sigh. Speak.
It will ease you a little!

I don’t even want your name
Nor even your star sign – Just
the real you is all needed.
Just the “You” you are hiding.
The “One” no one else knows!
I’ll be only hugs and holds!

I won’t try to judge you
I might not understand your feeling
Still, it’s alright! Cry to me!
Does it hurt? Sigh deeply, please!
I’ll be the one you need!
I’m stretching my hand for you!

Don’t leave it hanging – Just how
everyone else did for me!
No words needed. Take my hand. 
Hold on to my hand, at least!
It might ease your heart, passably!

You light the night sky eternally
Even though your sky is darker
Forget who you’re for a night!
Let’s just be two perfect strangers!
Lighten your heart, lead anew dawn!
It will ease your heart, hopefully!

Confession!





Do you hate me that much?
To leave me just like that!
To let me perish in misery!
My starlight in my night sky;
My sun gleaming my dark days;
Stay with me!

Forgive me, for not seeing your pain;
Forgive me, I wasn’t there for you;
You must be disappointed in me!
Just gimme one more chance-I
will protect you with my life!
Stay with me!

This loneliness of yours, Oh dear!
It has atrociously devoured me, solely!
This heart of yours in me is distressed!
Please come back to me, for,
I need me only for you!
Stay with me!

I can’t let you go like this!
We have our world to paint!
All I ask from you is:
Just gimme one more chance-I
will hold on to you, forever!
Stay with me!

Putting aside all our memories- You
left me alone in this hardship!
The image of you leaving me
is engraved in my desolated heart.
This heart still longs to say:
Stay with me!

We walked the same road, separately!
We never let each other go!
You went distant, leaving me stranded!
Even if we are worlds apart
I’m yours and you’re my love!
Wherever we are!

Reality in life is exhaustively lonely!
Life is getting hard without you!
I’ m used to holding it in!
I will barely get through- Shortly,
when we meet in eternity – I’ll
stay with you!
