The Lost Shadow

The lost shadow


He began to fight
When I started to blame
On phone every night
For not being the same !

It kept me silent
Long time ago
As he turned to be violent
Cruel with self ego !

He doesn't want me to complain
The moment I got hurt
Just to hold my pain
Without giving any alert !

He wants me to draw
Smile on sad face
And my steps to follow
His in any place !

Never share a dream
Or even a nightmare
And firmly hide my scream
Even if it is hard to bear !

I will carry my burden
Without asking him to share
I will close my heart's curtain
On my secrets affair !

May be I loved him more
Than he already did
As neither his eyes nor
Actions like what was said !
