Shadow on the Sun
Once upon a time
I was on a mind to lay your burden down
And leave you where you stood
You believed I could
Youd seen it done before
I could read your thoughts
And tell you what you saw
And never say a word
But now that is gone
Over with and done
And never to return
Why do I owe you my existence or for that matter you owe me yours?
"It was always a deal for you", she says!!
You cant make her understand, but she always said that she never would make you make her understand ... EVER!!
The shadow on the Sun is long and I wait for nightfall to be free,
the mornings were taken away from me long ago...
"I will get on, all by myself", he said to himself...lifting the collar of his best friend at that moment...his favourite grey jacket...
Rolling out whiffs of smoke, that feeling dawns on him again, he chuckles,"its happening again...maybe i am meant to be alone...by myself...clocking miles under my heels".
He starts walking analyzing the situation, how can someone be a devoted lover and talk like that the very next moment. She can talk about commitment and togetherness all she wants. Was i ever unfaithfull??..no.
Then why does she want my soul after what she has done?? She will act as if I am the only man she cares about and a perpetual god, which i detest because i know tomorrow it's gonna be someone else.
He lights up one more "milds" on his way, looks at his silver Zippo firing away eternally like a Dragon, missing his bike, the only faithful companion he ever had ...he tells himself,
"Chapter closed, I cant deal with this right now",
"freak!!! I need to stop smoking before it kills me!!".
Two statements I have made many times in the past two years!!

well articulated... you have real clarity of thoughts as well as the capability of turning everything in black and white.
you write pretty well abhimanyu, you ought to give it more time.
