nothing really happens...

Why cant I possess you-
With all my love that I can offer you inturn?
Why cant I love you-
With all my heart and self?
Why cant I tell you
That I miss you and spend sleepless nights thinking about u?

You never looked back after you said goodbye tonight
Not even a peck on cheek;
before you left me to be alone again to face the endless monotony
of life, of worthlessness: where nothing really happens.

Why do you do this?
Don’t you realize that nobody can love you more than I do
May be I am not pure and innocent anymore
But does that really make a difference?

May be not the role of a patient listener tonight
But of a passionate lover.
Gift me for the last time- the world of sacred mirages.
Just let me live in the world of illusions
That would anyways crumble and fall apart

when you run out of patience-
Slap me and wake me up
or
let me live in your arms just for
just for a moment that will be my eternity…
I promise you no more insanities, no more insecurities
Just let me hold you.
Look at me the way you did when we were young and playful
Look at me with all the passions, love and care that you can conjure up:
This moment…
Hold me…
kiss me… and lull me to sleep-
Just once more like you did that warm winter afternoon…

It made me cry Madhuri. I can't call this writing "awesome" as in my opinion that will be showing disrespect to whatever you wrote. Its not a "awesome" writing. Its a sobbing voice of a wounded heart. Thus an honest feeling which irrevocably made me write this. I know you don't seek opinion but as there exited a public place for few words and I felt a strong desire to express. Sorry! if I it hurts you.

...then my last comments first line summarizes my reply to your comment. And last line of my last comment was just a precautionary statement, for "just in case" reaction. Not because I was criticising, rather I thought if by chance it ends up making you feel so.

I was not looking for anything specific. Your writing is touchy.

Vampire’s Diary Day 2: How the soul died?-The unprecedented casualty: The green coloured public transportation bus was overcrowded on that humid evening in April. April had at last meted out its cruelty on me, it was indeed the cruellest month of the year. I did not know where I was heading to, my feet weren’t tired of the consistent, clumsy walking. Nothing seemed to register through my senses, the world seemed to have suddenly stopped existing for me. The noisy, polluted roads glimmering with lights, the neon signboards, high buildings, small children playing in the park and a thousand other things that would catch my attention everyday on my trip to college were erased out of my audio-visual range. All I could perceive was the smell of the dead. I had inculcated this smell into my memory from my kaku’s dead body. The pungent, raw, morbid smell of the dead seeping into the small corridor perfumed with the smoke of incense sticks, into the dimly lit room that was occupied by a bunch o

Maya’s inconsistent mumblings: I was wondering, no not wondering, thinking, not thinking. I was contemplating- no…sounds too broody and heavy completely unlike me or my thought process. What a loser I am, after spending some time with him I ended up sounding like him! He is definitely infectious… Yep I got the right words- ‘I was getting into flashbacks, in fact a series of them and of course I was the central character in all of them. And if I try looking at myself into another time and past situations I feel I had deliberately fictionalised my existence. I have stories no facts no dates and all that happened with me has blurred and there is an air of vagueness about the past but now I know what actually happened and why I am like this. Like what?- don’t know, I too do not know, perhaps it is too knotty to explain in sentences or in words. You have to get inside my mind, my heart, have to go through all had passed upon with out a sigh and hush the most important thing of all –“Nobody
