I loved You

So you rise once again,
and here comes your call.
I'm flattered by your love and cares
But Thanks, I don't need them at all.

You had a broken heart,
now its mine which lay in tatters,
You said you found shelter in these eyes,
But I isn't sure if it really matters.

Wasn't you the strongest one,
eloquent and wisest of all?
one who knows life better,
then why did you fall?

You said I should be strong,
find a guy and settle down.
But still you hang on to the rope,
Do you think I am some sort of clown?

My life have always been simple,
Now I ain't too sure what simplicity means.
I wanted to be crazy like you,
how I wish I could see it coming.

A couple of years and you will settle down,
marrying a stranger, You'll live an estranged life.
I pity the girl but I feel more pity for you,
because you'll never know how much I loved you.

Day, surprise me
coz it's the night I grow old with
the lullabies that puts that sweet child to slumber
reminds me of my endless sleepless nights
And the Jagjit Singh songs that float through my ventilators
breaking the silence of the dead night,
reminds me of the whispers that resonated in my corridors since ages
The old owls sits on the perch and peers through the broken window
they have been my only friends, once again a reminder of the cycle of age
They say love is ageless but I have seen her age and die a cold death,
colder than the night that greets me every season,
ya, day surprise me
coz it's the night I grow old with.

You sit in the silence of your heart
my world is tearing apart
I had promised to take you offshore
But now i feel, I ain't know you anymore

The walls are growing closer,
I spent my life looking for the windows
I had promised to get you across the door
But now i feel, I ain't know you anymore

the night is growing dark,
and you are scared to step out,
i did try to take your hand
But now i feel, I ain't know you anymore

how long would you cry on your mistakes
how long would you term them as crime
how long would your days merge into nights
how long would you stay away from the lights
how long, baby, how long
how long will you lie in the floor,
i feel, I ain't know you anymore

Someday you will be drowned in your own tears,
strangled by your own breath, threatened by your fears
I wish you understood life doesn't have a back door,
i feel, I ain't know you anymore
