Don't ask me why

September 27 2010

A silent moment
A soundless cry
An empty smile
A tear dry
A life unlived
passes by
I know, but
don't ask me why.
I live too, but
don't ask me why.

A numbing pain
A silence pregnant
A dying desire
A hope remnant
And a smile
that refuses to die
I know, but
don't ask me why.
I live too, but
don't ask me why.

A calm breeze
A shining sun
A storm invisible
Secrets a ton
To live, to fight
they struggle and try.
I know, but
don't ask me why.
I live too, but
don't ask me why.

A complex balance
a 'me' and a 'you'
An 'I' and a 'my'
and a 'them' too
Shattered hearts
and a 'truth' and a 'lie'
I know, but
don't ask me why.
I live too, but
don't ask me why.

A few hands outstreched
And some explaining eyes
Of Words unsaid
and struggling smiles
Am still there and so are you
And another year passes by
I know but
don't ask me why.
I lived it again,but
don't ask me why.

Every smile a gift
Every moment a life
Every joy a truth
And sorrow a lie
Isse zyaada nahi ho paa raha
Rhyming woh bhi sponty??
I can't do it!!
Don't ask me why!
