Two Face

Met with two eyes,
 Face to face — we shared a combination,
 A fusion of thoughts, thinking as if almost alike,
 Until they entwined.
 We felt so connected,
 Same problems, same likes and dislikes —
 As if we made each other alive.

Eating up our thoughts,
 Dreaming for more — wondering, what if it was real?
 Heart to heart, wandering thoughts, they said.
 Mind to mind, scrambling through places love defined.
 We tempted each other,
 Greedy for one another — and wait…
 Is this for real?
 Or are we just living in a dream?

A dream of wonderland,
 Just you and me.
 Hold my hand, and I hold yours,
 Opening up — enjoying our desires.
 Do they notice?
 Do you mind as I satisfy your pleasure?
 Do you trust me?
 I’m trustworthy, your realist friend.
 I’ll be by your side forever,
 Promise...

But — he fingers crossed, hidden, dark, unnoticed.
 We laughed,
 We cried,
 We loved.
 Until he left for another,
 Wanting more, greedy for new,
 Still chasing pleasure.

Then —
 … she feels isolated, unwanted,
 Stupid, too stupid and selfish,
 Left with a broken heart.
 Her dreams, her soul, shattered in pieces.
 Dream girl…

Again and again, she doesn’t want anyone anymore.
  that ! No one’s real in this world.
 Fake, fake, fake!
 Only One is true — God.

And again, she remembers God
 In the moments of suffering:
 “Where were You when I needed You?”
But God in silence, ‘When will you ever listen child?’

She silences her thoughts —
 “I wish I would’ve…”
 But it’s too late.
 Falling piece by piece, fading away,
 Life gone for no reason.

All because of one too-dreamy girl,
Just dreaming in a dream world —
He started the betrayal, and where is she? 
Two Faces caught.  The illusion of Us.
