It becomes harder to pretend

February 20 2012

Please don't ask me what it is

Its very difficult to tell

The grief, the pain, has gone deep within

Deeper than you can smell

Don't wonder whose fault it is

Is it fate or my own creation

I have pondered enough on thoughts like these

And realized there's no conclusion

Every morning when day should start afresh

I have thoughts lingering over mind

And you think, certain things are wrong

Oh! why, but few are right!

Please don't try to search my eyes

I don't hide emotions there

You don't know, but I have mastered the art

Of hiding feelings nowhere

The little smiles I tried to preserve

Have become difficult to upkeep

And you thought I m such a jovial guy

You don't know whats there in deep

Don't ask me about my silent hours

I may not disclose them ever

I keep talking for long long hours

But my silence is hidden forever

The shell was hard, not easy to break

But has now been broken and bent

Don't question how I live like this

It becomes harder to pretend.
