LONELY


In this fast-paced world, I needed to reach somewhere,

I wanted to look at you, so I sat right there.

Thoughts are fights with deep despair;

Every single nerve in me says, 'You don't care'.

Always trying to reach you,

Waiting to find you, searching to see you.

Endings are not the happiest except on-screen,

And the journey I dreamed with you is surely, unseen.

Turning the pages on my diary,

I realized they are oh! So heavy.

The truth, the myth and the weight I put on the levee,

It scattered into pieces,

Leaving me expectedly, lonely.
