Suraj Samtani Poems

Why?
What happened?
...

I see you from a distance,

and I think: how lovely.
...

I've seen you come,

I've since been numb.
...

I wish you were here for just one more day.

There was really a lot I have to say.
...

Since a while we've been aloof, &

I blame myself for this goof.
...

For you I'd fake every truth.

For you I'd manifest every lie.
...

What do I say?
Ever since I saw you,

I live no night nor day, &
...

The entire place was empty.
It was really just you and me.

You in my arms, &
...

I'm sorry.

I don't know how to live among you.
...

For how much longer will I live life on rent?

When will I ever do that for which I'm sent?
...
