Anti-social

Gracia for making me anti-social,

Now I fear to socialize,

What if they can see me?

What if they can hear my crowded voice?

What if they know me?

Who am I!

Who I was to you,

What if they come to know the equations between you and me,

We were so much in love,

Lost myself to you back then and now lost you to find me back!

Such a reverse story, Yet I am writing it!

Maybe, I want to let go by letting people in,

Letting them see,

Letting them hear,

What you were to me!

Let the heart not bear the pain alone,

Let the darkness not survive for too long!

Thanks for making me so socially active but at the core an anti-social being,

Now I talk to people with no inertia- I know each of them will wane with the flowing wind,

Days will be forgotten so will the foregone memories!

Audacity

Oh, the audacity of leaving the person you love! To walk away with steady feet, While their heart still trembles
