Fading Away

It hurt to let you go

But it was inevitable

And it felt evil.

But what didn't?


We can try against all odds

To keep this friendship alive.

But with time the rope loosens

The fabric tears apart.


The leaves were dancing

On the Doomsday

The birds were chirping

The flowers bloomed.

But nothing went right.

Soon the leaves lost their rhythm

The birds cried in agony

The flowers welcomed the doom

And it fell apart.


The trust, the belief,

Vanished altogether,

Like the last spark on a burnt piece of paper.

As I stood there watching you leave.


I hurt to let go.

But we had decided it

The phone was my pack of cigarettes

And I was in a rehab.


It was hard

I lived with it

It was tough to be strangers

But we had faded in the past

And all was gone.


In spring last year,

We did everything together

Joined to the hip, they said

But friendship is wicked

My friend, it is kaleidoscopic

It changes very soon

To monsoon.
