Why do I feel that I have been cheated...
A stab of deceit I feel so close, that a ruthless pain crosses my heart.
Though I thought I was quite far from it,
Fate, yet again, has played its part.
A drop of tear is hidden in every smile,
And sorrow in every act juvenile.
My mind stands cold with all the senses betrayed.
My soul feels as hollow as the promises that were made.
Spent hours to figure out what went wrong
How a beautiful life turned into a broken song...
Walked miles ahead and reached no where
Tried and lost, gave a cry of despair.
Nothing reached me out, no one held my hand
Alone I was never, but lonely I do stand.
And so now I walk under the copper sky,
Standing at the impasse of life and grief.
Dissolved in the ocean of my own tears,
Finding peace in my numbness, for moments so brief.
I search through the archives of my existence,
Trying to answer the question my mind repeated -
Why, I say -
Why do I feel that I have been cheated...
it still matters for me to know that you are happy...a very old friend...lost long time back...
