My one-sided love...you look different from my eyes You look captivating yet lost from my sight You made me crave and you took all away You were there both rhetoric and sublime You called me and you let me go...you whispered in silence and went silent when I wanted to behold My one-sided love, my enclosed walls My Street my door my windows and my roof of thoughts My words my ink my pursuit to dream and my rationale to never dream again My endless knocks...Knocks of desperation Knocks to steal a glimpse A glimpse of all I was all I could be and all that I have become My one-sided love...You look mine from my eyes Like the setting sun is to sea...Like winter to my quilt...Like rosemary to your perfume And like dandelions to your lips Like a shattered glass where there's all of you but none of me My one-sided love in this stillness and quiet of the night Lie down, drink, dive, sink, sip, and engulf in water for the calmness we could never find Let your mind wander, float and drown Where everything feels peaceful and right Surrender to the silence of all that's neither truth nor lie My one-sided love today's the day we part...today as you drift off into a peaceful slumber Let your worries and fears fade into isolation...and let the tranquility of the dark take you under Like the moon just let your nerves bathe in the seclusion of a dream One that lingers...one compelling you to think One that you flaunt in the loneliest of meadows...One that's hidden in plain sight Relish the comfort in the fact that now you're alone My one-sided love...It's not the leaving whose sad it's the one whose left behind My one-sided love...you look different from my eyes You look captivating yet lost from my sight By: Kshitij Sinha 20/07/2023
