Niharika Prasad Poet Ballad

I Sway Away

I sway away with a haste, my eyes narrow in a frown
amidst a multitude of colorful lights, i see only a fuzzy gray,
spinning around on my toes, the colors simply dissolve
but your memory stubbornly lurks around , as if to stay

I raise my hands over my head, hastily brushing away a tear
the tear your memory painfully draws,from my eyes tightly shut in despair

I gracefully jerk away my face,determined not to spoil the move,
i have to dance till the end ,i am the winner,i have to prove

The music soars higher still, but what is really so *****,
is the deafening silence. The persistent gripping fear..

Afraid to face the truth, which nastily whispers in my ear,
drowning the pleasant music, it draws near and near

I turn around and swirl away, i hurl myself to the mirror in front of me,
i face my eyes bloody red and smeared,
with a pool of tears that you would never see

As the beats pick up in pace, soaring to the highest pitch,
I throw myself up, away from the ground,fighting against your clutch,
your memories, mocking me like a wicked old witch.
I break into a hysteric sob, its just that i love you too much.
