I Died a Little Inside

I died a little inside when, through your displays, I felt, Love, that you did not really believe in our story That you thought, maybe, it could simply be a little madness, Another pink cloud floating gracefully around In a sea of multicolored clouds! I died a little inside, when, through the gaze of your eyes, I sensed that you may not value me as much as I value you, You are, after all, The one with whom I've had a past life, You remain, in the end, The one with whom I desire to sway Across the tunes of this one life, The only one to whom I shall tie myself In the next life, For I have belonged to you Ever since I spawned, from the raging waters Of eternally swirling oceans! But I died a little when I faced your bold indifference It felt like the Earth had no place in Existence, That everything and everyone just come and go As seasons do, Coldly and mechanically! I died, as I realised that you have not been shown The mystery behind the mystical meaning of our bond I died, and I still do, each time I wonder How the Heavens shall make me feel? Shall I merely choose to sit in a corner Refusing adamantly to give in to the pulls of the Gods, As they shall implore me to forgive and to forget That you stayed away from me, While I battled for my own survival in a world Where living felt as pricky as a bare footed walk on Cold rocky paths? Or, shall I just beam, so grateful and so in love With you, who deemed that it was best To dive into the illusory mess that I chose to fall to Merely to save me, while laying everything else aside? The pain of those jolts that come With the realisation that our bond leaves space for doubt, In your own mind, Kills me everyday, As it had killed me a little, When I first felt it! Pray, should I die from this pain though, I know, someday, when the dawn of our meaning Will unveil itself to you, You shall die too, just like I did, Slowly and in utmost silence! I can still be saved, and so can you! Hold my hand and pull me out of the swamps In which I am drowning, Pull me out and let the fire that burns in you Kindle up in me and burn in me too! In that way, someday, when Death shall show up, We shall smile, hold each other's hands And allow his power, To have us resurrected, there, Where it all started!
