This night

This night, Ah! stark black
why cant i see clearly
where am i heading..
why do you keep coming
back and again
smile at me,
make fun of me..
Why do i still feel
your gentle touch
caressing my face
that only holds
an expression of being lost today.

This night
reminds me of so many nights
when we walked to those mountains
hand-in-hand
stayed in seclusion
oh! how dreamy were we!
unaware of the realities
we had to face.

and here it is
this night,
when i can only long for you
and can't express it
for the wall that
was built between us
holding a lamp
which you and i
refused to light
and chose to remain
alone, in this night.
