It's been a long time,
I had not tasted happiness
Thorough my lips.
Always I offer to strangers.
Again & again.
Kept nothing for me.
I put murky paint on my face
To bring smile
On some incognito face.
And I forget my own.
It's been a long time.
It's really been a long time.
It's been a long time,
I have not walked over the meadows.
Barefoot with an open soul.
I did not look up & embrace brightness.
With uncluttered iris.
I was always busy extending warmth to others.
Spreading comfort to them.
And did not notice that
Winter bee was making a hive in my heart.
I forgot to keep my mercury level correct.
It's been a long time.
It's really been a long time.
It's been a long time,
It's really been a long time.
I have not looked at the
Mirror properly.
Who is on the other side?
Can't be me?
Who is that person?
Broken, smacked & burned.
A sewed smile on my face.
How could be it's me?
When I always offer others
Love, grace and beauty.
Seems, I took all the venom in return.
They took all the nectar of mine
And flew.
I was a dunce.
I give everything beautiful, I had,
To the strangers.
Now, this is me.
All ugly, wrecked & wounded.
Will you still love me?
