Poemander

I wanted to be with you,

I wanted to be by your side,

See the sweet dreams of you,

Glide on the edge of the night.

I wanted to walk your streets,

I tried hard to feign being here,

But my heart couldn't fake these beats,

But my feet couldn't bring me there.

Wretched days devour me alive,

Yet nights festoon sky with stars to assuage the pain.

I fancied to end this life,

But none of such tricks would undo the chain.

Hence, I shall be the one or be nobody,

Turn into a prey or the predator.

To return the favour give back forcibly,

There's no half-way, it's impossible.
