Like a waning evening sun, I watch you creep back into your shell,
Dimming your light and pulling together your curtains like an evening show just ended.
But there was no round of applause from you
No rising ovation
Or vote of thanks.
Because it's just you and prolly I (who is hiding outside the door)
Waiting for you to gift me a glance,
Just a little turn of your head would have revealed me to you
And maybe you'd find in my eyes, my obsessive love for you.
And just like it is always been, you don't see me crushing on you,
You don't notice me noticing you all day, all night
You don't notice me preparing my gun to shoot my shot at you.
And just like a waning evening sun, you wrap it up like an evening show,
Your face bereft of its usual glow and radiance,
No shadow of smile tracing your lips,
Your blue angelic eyes looking like they have set gaze on better things,
Slowly, you fade into yourself,
Covering up your heart like a tortoise shell,
Building tons and tons of barricades against it,
Guarding it with the gravest looking lock.
Stay a little while, my queen
Shine a little, my love
I know you are tired of all the games all,
I know your heart has become wary of men's lies and deceits.
I know you'd rather be on your own than give another another chance,
But i beg you my lady,
Stay a little while and wait for me!!!
