The Cold Lover

I always wonder what I would say whenever I would meet you

Though silence sets in, the very moment I see you

I wish if you could ever strike a conversation

I have tried many times, though with hesitation

You can stare all day, but can’t say what you feel?

It’s difficult to open your mouth, is it covered with a seal?   

A coward you are, not worthy of love

How could a crow ever be a dove?

You think you can always talk to me as per your convenience?

I am not your child, don’t expect such obedience!

You can take all I have, please don’t rob me off my self-respect

I am willing to be proved wrong as long as you are correct

I have decided to distance myself from you

It’s killing me and I don’t know what to do

It’s easier said than done

Having to forget that special someone

You are so near, yet far away

In my heart you always stay

Your coldness burns me to death

Your smile takes away my breath

I feel so low, but my hopes are high!

How can you smile, when you are about to cry?

I hold back my tears and a put a smile

For once wear my shoes, and walk a mile!

I am tired, I have tried my best

How many times will you put me to the test?

The results I await have not come yet

That makes me all the more upset

My love for you is true and unconditional

It’s self-sustaining, it doesn’t need anything additional

Are you aware of it or you pretend you don’t know?

Because every time I get up, you let me go

 It’s all written over my face, couldn't you ever see? 

Whenever you have spoken to me

My eyes light up and I shiver

Unlikely, my voice too begins to quiver

But you seem to be lost in your own world

And I am left to wonder, I'm puzzled

Wish you could get over your shyness

I'm always at your service, your highness!
