"The Perfect Random Stranger"

HIM

Lingering and anticipating amidst an archaic carnival crowd,

Awaiting your sublime entrance, to finish the banality.

Your absence has a dreary effect on my sprite,

The ambience around, resembles an autumn gale.

Your dearth turns into a bestial desert heat,

Sucking out the fervor and glee in me.

Half aware I woke up to an obdurate dream,

Within a teasing reach, though I cannot recall.

Like a treasured song close to the core,

Whose tune reverberates within, yet the lyrics elude.

A feeling of discontentment blankets my thoughts,

Swallowing the world I built and conceived for us.

Trapping the malevolent dreams and flailing memories,

The haunting thoughts ready to wring and rend my heart.

Tethered to you, my incoherent heart skitters and

Hides behind my facades and eroding armour.

I wonder why does your presence even matter

After all I have known you only for so long.
