Nobody's home.

The Sun didn't rise today, neither at dusk did it set
It is her heart that drowns in the darkness of night instead.

A familiar stroking hand now misses from her head.
No moment of peace.

No smiles, nobody home to go back to.
No joy, no sense of belonging anyone to.
No shoulder, no lap to pour her heart out to.
No one to put her at ease.

She knew it was wrong, that she should change,
She knew she should cut off those balls and chains.
She couldn't take the hurt over and over again.
But unnoticed passed all the hints

They wished she would,

She wished she could,

She knew she should,

But didn't.

There is loneliness, there is hurt,
All the pain, and the harshness curt.
With all that's happened, lessons learnt.

Her faith fails.

Surrounded by prosaic faces,alone in the crowd.
Blank faces, blank eyes,pragmatic and so proud
Nothing to just, for a while, her sadness shroud.
Isolation prevails.

The incompleteness, the failures put her to shame
Every mistake, every fault, everything-she's to blame
The life she dreamt of crashes,and burns,and fades.

Cue for an exit.

Crippled, injured;there is too much pain inside,

Insecure, unsure,there is way too much to fight.

She saw it at the end, and so she walked into the light.

And that was it.

For a soul sister

Life and its machinations leave me on the floor,

Every dream, every hope goes flying out the door.

In this ocean of endless pain,only one visible shore.

In this bedizened life, my Excelsior,  my pride.
The only one who held me every time that I cried.
In the marriage of our hearts, my all-giving bride.

While love might continue to play peekaboo,
A path through my heart who managed to construe.

And somehow manage to calm my heart's hullabaloo

Saving my wispy wishes, against unbridled unknowns galore.

Protecting me and my precious from drowning into this torpor.

Shielding this Frodo from Gollum, a Sam in my mind's Mordor.

 Riding through the dark, an princess in a knight's disguise,
There at every step, right there, to save my life.
And through the obscurities, a flash of burning white.

Through this labyrinth of life,leading me to the light.
Paving a pearly path, through the poor and the plight
Fighting the winds of change, with all our might.

The one with a solution before the problem can register
The one who will stand against any Miss, and Mister.
The one whom I love- my  beloved soul sister.
