baby steps to insanity

to look at the moon 
on full-moon nights
to feel the dark
on no-moon ones
remember?
we used to go to a place


in the shade of pines


remember
do you?


birds flew past
they recognized us
the air had unknown smells


under the stars
we used to sit
and tease and talk
kiss


remember
do you?


now they're craning that earth out
and making a building there
in our place
where we'll never be
ever again


those smells
are now lost love,
lost love
there isn't dark 
no pines
the moon's gone too


and so are we


that place has forgotten us
just like
you've forgotten me
darlin darlin


everything's over 
over
now it's no more us
just me
only me
until i can't
hold my breath
sans you


everyday 
i see that building come up
i try to thrust this belief into me
that you're no more
but can't


and 
no verse
can even begin to convey,
to say
how much 
i miss you
and want you


so much so
that i would rush back in time
to then
and 
just hold on to you
darlin darlin

a building is a nice edifice to be placed as a homage to a beautiful relationship...

WomanInLove said...

Maybe the building came up cos he was not meant to be?

I do not take sarcasm as well.

Sage
No, it isn't.

why couldn't he be, he's the only thing I am asking for!

I love the way 'darlin darlin' rings.. endearing yet melancholic..

WomanInLove said...

I dont know why...but wanting anyone so much makes having him unworthy of it...

arvind said...

everything's over
over
now it's no more us
just me
only me

but, is it that original you..
this you is of some depth..
so depth - you..
storing him at the edge of that depth..

its a beauty..

Pain is Drug hardest to give up, if not for those sojourns into the pines, how will I have known the bird sings too.
