Detached

I can see you fading away,

I can feel your anguish.

For I had promised to never let you go,

For I had dreamt you ; My dream

"My" instantly connected you and me

You were what I wanted to be,

You were what I aimed to achieve.

But, this "my" did not come easy.

Early on I realised, my life was not solely mine

I, was never allowed to be the real me.

You cry; I cry

You smile; I smile

"How could you set forth to be so independent?

Can't you see I have been deprived?";

"Why would you achieve your dreams?

When I have not been allowed to fulfill mine?"

Bitterness crept in

Old wounds were exhumed

"Can't we just let it go?"

I pleaded.

My pleas were unheard

Just as how my songs were unsung,

I had failed the test of time

I could not hold on to you

My Dream

I write, for I realised

I cannot dream nomore

I write,for I have accepted

You- my life,  are not wholly mine!
