The lies which tore us apart!


I am so sorry we are now so apart,
Two halves which mischievously used to be one part,
Life now seems so cruelly empty and bare,
Since you left and brought  away your loving and care,
Loneliness surrounds as I look around,
I still remember that first day you came to the orbit of my concern,
Lit a fire in me that grew violently and made me burn,

You turned around and proposal after proposal your spurned,
Then together we learned as our love unfurled like a fern,
You said the only reason you were initially stern,
Was to ensure that every ounce of your love I will earn,
It was all a lie and it probably was the way you acted it out,
Effortlessly acting each scene of each act and winning every bout,

Somehow the lies you told  and lived and the lies you donned,
Irresistibly charmed everything in me and left me conned,
Many years later even though I know of all the lies I am here,
On the same stage where I first met you feeling empty and bare,
Remembering the moment when you started acting strange,
And when it became evident that you had radically changed,

But when you stopped the lies and your love was true,
I had drifted apart and the distance true through and through,
I am standing stranded here,
And the stage is bare without your loving care,
Today I bring the curtains down and exit the stage,
Turn over a new page and liberate myself from this cage,
Leaving behind the longing for ability to go back again,
And find a way to more effectively ease your pain.

... his tears flowing like a river he walked away... from the past which hemmed him in...
