Look - the Rainbow Is Faraway

I didn't spin dreams before I met you; 
but those proved false and illusions too.
I wondered if life has a story to share...
Something fairytale-like: precious and rare.

Yet each day I longed to be loved; 
you shared thoughts, but my soul starved.
Phone calls were frequent; Skype and Watsapp.
Still your indifference put us in a trap.

Neither you nor I could be blamed; 
by destiny our situation was framed.
Our perspectives pushed us in different ways.
What we wanted was difficult to guess.

Only if we had not met before marriage; 
with the plot weaved differently on the stage.
The knot could have given us reasons to hold; 
even if by families to each other we were sold.

Thoughts lure by; memories pull me back, 
yet when I see how your commitments lack...
I smile at life and thank for saving me-
A knot with you would have bind me to a tree..!!

You are human. You have feelings too.
I should have accepted anything you do.
While you were experimenting; I fell in love, 
it was not your choice, so a broken-heart I deserve.
