My Intimate Stranger
My intimate stranger
Why are we so far away from each others thoughts?
And we are not so thoughtful to each others needs
And we live under the same roof on the same bed
But our minds are miles apart at dead end
Withdrawn to each others shell
Why are we physically present to each others demand?
But emotionally absent to fulfill each others needs
Why are we so indifference towards each other without regard?
And we spit evil and contentious feelings in disregard
When did we got to this point of madness
How are we so blind to our state of foolishness?
Why do we choose this attitude of thoughtlessness?
Against each other...this is our selfishness
Why all this bitterness and rudeness
See how we spit word of unkindness
To each other lately….but
Before we said “Yes I do” it was not like these?
Since we said, “Yes, I do”; where is our truthfulness
Our openness that bond us to make us say “Yes I do”
It’s trashed under the carpet of marital pressure
Where is our fairness and faithfulness?
Where is our openness and joyfulness?
Where is our frankness
We have denied each others closeness and nearness
With our attitudes and unkind words
Forgetting to adore each others physical presence and beauty
But remembering to abuse each others mistakes at will
How did we opted for faithlessness
What has deprived us of our goodness and kindness?
We need help so we can be relieved from this madness
see as we keep bitterness where love and peace dwells
As we carry on with malice and grudges against each other
Who will deliver us from this madness and sulkiness?
I wish we were friends as we were before we got married
As we were lost in each others arm thinking of nothing else
As our heart pounds day and night towards each other
I wish we can come back to that state of intimacy
So that we could share our thoughts without conspiracy
I wish we can be passionate to each other
As we were the talk of the town
I wish we can be open in our conversation again
As we were once vulnerable and generous to one another
As we were so close to each other
As we confide in one another
As we forgive each others mistakes
As we share each others feelings
As we give each other the space to express is emotion
As we respect one another
This convinced us, to walk to the priest
To be joined as ‘one body and one soul’ and say, “Yes; I do”.
all these i desire to explore in you
My intimate stranger
