Why are you doing this
How on earth you think
You will be able to find peace
And get away with hiding
After letting me burn like this
You know I’ve done nothing wrong
Told you countless times
This is neither in my control nor is yours
I am just a messenger sent along to make you hear
What you apparently need to know
You never got it although I’ve said it from the beginning
This is a two-sided sword!
Everything you do, think and feel,
Simultaneously affecting me too!
Try if you like
Noone can understand
What you are going through
As I do!
This is beyond the limits of mind
And I am the only one
Seeing the same signs
As you do!
This is why I say
We are alone-together
There’s no other way for you to feel
Free and complete
You just have to believe
This is really hapenning
And start acting like a wise-fool
There is only a thin line between the two
And you do know this well, too!
I’ve been back and forth between these two ends, for months
Trying to figure out what this is all about
And you?
You let me burn in this fire
You let me cry like a river
You let me feel helpless
What’s worse
You’ve been silently watching
While I’m going through all this
You think you’ll be able to get away
With the pain you gave
By doing nothing?
No babe, not so this time!
You already know
Who will be helpless in the end
It is none other than you, My Dear!
You will be standing on this door ashamed
For leaving me alone feeling this way
Then you’ll look for a way to compensate
The tears I shed because of your fears
Can’t you really feel
This fire that burns me with
The blindfold you insist on wearing
Turning into the hell
You prepare for yourself
But in the end
This fire will only torture
Your soul
You heard it MD!
You cannot say you did not
I have serenity in my heart
I kept my promise
I’ve served my purpose
I did all I can to help you realise
What you’ve been pushing away is
Your very own light
Calling you to get on board
To start flying over the rainbow
This is what you willfully agreed
Before coming to this world
I am just a messenger knocking on your door
Reminding you of your own promise
If you insist to resist accepting this
You will only regret it
Can’t you really see
I don’t want you to burn in the same fire
You’ve thrown me at
Through the blindfold you wear
So please do stop resisting
And let me hold your hand
We are wasting precious time
Can we just come together
And talk about this, please!
Can’t you really feel
These poems are not separate from the call
You are destined to hear
This is why you are the only reader
I wish you could also comprehend
You are the very poet writing them!
I know it is unfair
To expect you to comprehend it now
But eventually, you’ll understand
Who is behind the veil
