W H Y . D O N ‘ T . Y O U ?

Why don’t you, cover me up?
With your expanse, be my sky.
Why don’t you, tease me then,
With little gestures, reaching down?
Why don’t you, blind me now,
And let me guess, what you’re upto?
Why don’t you, come over me?
To weigh me down, till I sigh.
How I wish you come back.
Why don’t you?

You remind me of…

You remind me of that stubborn tree,
Still standing next to my old house.
I built many memories around it.
While all it did was shed, just shed!
I went in circles, around and again,
Sang songs, laughed and cheered.
While all it did was shed, just shed!
I tried sticking to it, few paper leaves,
Even embracing it, with little arms .
While all it did was shed, just shed!
I tried carving my love, on its trunk.
Silly but truly, I tried too hard.
While all it did was shed, just shed!
