Secret Admire

Hiding real core in pretence
 Winds around me chanted love hymns
Whispering into the ears 
Silver words wrapping the joint hopes

Why you seemed so deaf to hear the whispering 
Eyes so blind to see me smiling
The old terrifying waters that flooded happiness
Coated your heart with fear of recurrent heartbreaks

What a hard nut it appeared to be
Feelings couldn’t overcome the heart’s stubbornness
On my death bed, only for you to shed crocodiles tears
Why did you allow the past electroplate the present with regrets
Now hungry for my love but far from my reach
