Read through the lingering silence
Decode the deep sighs
If not for the sake of love
And not because you care
Then for the sake of pretensions
Hear the palpitating gloom
Ask what is wrong and why?
Do you not see me struggling?
Choking on air alone
Gulping down the lump in my throat
Bearing an unbearable weight
Of your indifference
Read through my tear filled eyes
Decode the desperate sight
If not for the graying memories
Or for the rusting bonds
Then simply for the old times sake
Cage me in a comforting embrace
Reassure me say 'It will all be fine'
Do you not see me struggling?
Writhing in unsurmountable pain?
Sipping on poison willingly
Gradually fading away?
Read through my quivering lips
Decode my endless plight
If not because
Then for the sake of dwindling bonds
Gather the chunks falling apart
One after another
Do you not see me struggling?
Stitching my own wounds?
Stacking piles of grievances
Againt you?
