Slipping Away In The Dark Poem by Soumili Karmakar

When I see you,
You look away,
Why don't you see me, when I sob away?
I don't blame you for anything,
It was me, who wept within.
Looked away from every sight,
Didn't wish you to catch the flight.
I Prayed for you,
Certainly, nothing desired from you.
My life was stuck in your eyes, even though I didn't catch your sight.
Chère mon amie,
If you find someone new,
I want you to cherish every morning dew.
Everytime you made me feel exceptional,
I was flying above in hues of happiness, summoning your infinite name.
And when it rained, the rainbow smiled from a distant view, to catch your glimpse for a love so true.
You avoided my eyes,
And I knelt down, being helpless.
Just prayed for you,
selfless.
Tears were streaming down my cheeks,
Faces known;
Were unknown now.
I was weeping there,
But didn't wish you to care.
You said, 'I do see you, but I don't want your mates catching me looking at you, because I do see you more than them'.
Here it all went wrong,
The puzzle I tried to solve.
Though you neglected me,
As if we were not written in our stars.
Wise one, Who knows where it all leads?
Wise one, it is unwise to tell lies through eyes.
Fogs in the cold misty air,
Desires a warmth of your smile,
For which I've waited since spring,
But didn't find you coming anyway.
Was falling apart, when you rejected my heart.
Constantly, tried to be a better one,
I was happy to see you, as it gifted me a purpose to live,
But, now I only think about how you went!
While I was smoking cigarettes,
I was wondering, what did you find when you looked into my eyes. Did you understand my affection?
Maybe, I was at fault.
Maybe, I was unworthy of your love.
But, love still lives here.
My heart desired to find days in your light, but you denied.
You drove me in the dark,
Where I was wide awake, yet you were hiding away.
Farewell.
