I walked...

I walked through the day... learnt to fight dismay...

If this is what life wants... I better gulp my qualms...

Every grain of lament... that I collect in your name...

will surely add up somewhere... within me it'll remain...

There will come a time... you'll witness a subdued climb...

Of a journey you cherished... slowly fading in thin air...

Perhaps then it may dawn... mine was an act of care...

I know you know not now... to remember those vows...

And then...

You point me to a mirror... that speaks loud & clear...

Showing me where I stand... stealing away my chance...

Things shown to me you had... I wish you too see that...

Roads you chose for me... weigh with common ink on thee...

When emotions go numb, and love voices despair...

A damage I sense so grave, it seems beyond repair...

For all that I may reason... I face a closed door...

Still afloat with hopes... to catch a glimpse of shore...
