I am standing at the crossroad we met. I had promised
myself, I will never turn back.
What happened?
Did I never moved on?
Was I walking in circles?
Or unwillingly I have trodden?
Piercing gaze of those eyes
Preying my mind
Who is it in disguise?
My feet nailed to ground
Swiftly it slided
Black robe confined around
Smirk in a ear
Shiver down my spine
Husky voice, I could hear
Handsome rage dancing in its eyes
Singing, "You have been possessed"
Scarred fingers muffled my cries
Frigid breathe on neck
Sniffed my skin
Resurrected from past to break
To break my will
To break my conscience
It is here to kill
It is here to kill
Its poisonous pang corroding the skin. Flaring as it swims into my veins, charring my insides.
It was drinking my exuberant spirit. I stood as if deceased.
It was drinking my exuberant spirit. I stood as if deceased.
Shrieking laugh echoed the room. Snapped me back from lifeless trance.
It was drooling with jealousy, the look so greedy.
I had been confronted by my own 'Guilt'.
I had been confronted by my own 'Guilt'.
I know
You are life for someone else
But
This Guilt
Smudges my present
Flaming the resentment
It captivates me
When I think
'Dreaming of You'
When I question
'Why can't I be with you?'
When I say
'I Miss You'
I wonder how can someone wait that long?
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is this...
I understand...It's difficult to move on still being in love....I was at some point there but time heals everything...amazing words :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing piece of raw honesty..letting go is so painful and difficult
ReplyDeleteI remember the song "jhonka hawa ka.."
ReplyDeleteLife has given me a greater reason to live and laugh with, something has filled my heart and apart from that their is this guilt now, I could never turn back, I broke my promise.
love is always unconditional...it doesnt see ethics or boundaries....you dont love a person with conditions, you jus love. loe is something you give out..n its best wen given out without the burden of expectations or doubt.
ReplyDeletethe words are amazingly woven..
:)
forgot to check follow up comments option...
ReplyDeleteA heartfelt weave....love the blog look.

ReplyDeleteWait?! Is it?. I don't think so. If there was still any waiting, I would have never written those first few lines :)
@Gargi
Probably this was a self inflicted injury. It had healed a long time back. I don't know how did it reopen ;)
Thanks a lot.
@Susie
Letting go is painful & difficult, but not impossible. Thank you :)
@Beyond
ReplyDeleteListening to the song all over again.
:)
@Eon
You say it so beautiful, that I can't go against it sometimes :P
Thank you :)
In some instances, I never allow the bug of expectation & doubt to come my way.
@Alka
Thank you :) & blog look, signifies a bit of how I am ;)
The guilt is hard to face, it can break people, it is malicious, but it thrives on us only.
ReplyDeleteForfeit it, and we're free, for life :)

BRILLIANT writing! I've read it many times now ~ love it!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't aware that Adele recorded a version of this song. Bonnie Raitt sang the original. Both ladies brought justice to this song that I've always classified as *heart wrenching beauty* ... your words here fall into this category also :) ♥
We do end up moving in circles a lot of times. Its strange.
ReplyDeleteAnd this was a stellar piece of writing, esp **But
This Guilt
Smudges my present
Flaming the resentment
Too beautiful <3
