With you, without you
With you, without you,
Life moves on
It waits for none
You promised to
be my soulmate
With passage of time
Forgot all the promises
Words were fake
So, were the actions
Meant only for palpitations
Those adrenaline rush
Was temporary,
Unlike my feelings
Which I saw flushed
Into the words of lie
Hidden truths beneath
The quilt of lies
Which difficult to decode.
Living together for seven births
Was not even for a decade
Clashed into like ashes.
Was I too innocent
Or were you too sharp
And I sometimes ask
To my heart
Whether to love someone
Or give you another chance
To rectify your deeds
Perhaps, you never
Seemed to care the way
I poured love
From my heart.
May be it was
A Karmic relation
For few moments
To set me free
From the debt of
My previous birth.
