A Dilemma Part I
A DILEMMA
(Part I)
Every night before closing my eyes,
My heart, I comfort with a million lies
Across the bridges ,like the oceans seven
Across this ‘hellish’ life, lies heaven
Everyday I chose not to lose hope
Before everything falls apart, THEY will be able to cope
But,
My expectations are stabbed brutally
What lies in my hands?
It’s always the fate ultimately
Words like love have no place
I don’t know in whom to find solace
Crashing things and slamming the doors
Both of them, no guilt and no remorse
They fail to understand how much it hurts me
My bruised heart, I hope someday they will see
Some past experiences they don’t wish to forget
And I tell them to move on
This solution, they reject!
Those ruthless people force me to choose
It feels like standing in two boats,
One feet up and myself, I l lose
The situation, these emotions, leave me in confusion
It feels as if my HAPPINESS is some delusion
To choose between my mom and dad
Every time I try, as if my heart is stabbed
To become partially orphaned is what the court asked,
They say ‘give a SIMPLE answer’
Is it really this simple task?
Do misunderstandings always lead to separation?
Or behind the curtains, god offers some solutions?
But who has the patience, to pull the curtains down?
No one is ready to bury their egos under the ground
To wake up every morning just to hear them scream
Every second is a night mare,
I miss those childhood fairy dreams
Tomorrow is the day of judgement
None of them, ready for a settlement
I m still wondering whom to choose
Come what may, one of them, I will lose
I hope till morning I find some way
I hope some miracle takes place on this judgement day
I hope, these ‘hopes’ are not shattered like always
Mom and dad,
With BOTH of you I wish to stay!
