A tryst that was so special
Finally you came
It happened though not so congenial
You gave me shame
...
Some smiling faces, loving hearts and romance..
Behind the eyes they all loose their fragrance...
On your presence, you always shine..
Your absence makes you a demon, they opine.
...
Night descends with hope & dream
And covertly we meet to laugh & scream..
Often I wake up at Midnight's silence..
To secretly gossip with your delusive presence..
...
On that day...
Into thousand pieces my heart was broken
yet I was silent though deeply shaken
Dreams were shattered like a house of cards
...
