I walk on a road lush with dreams,
a road of forgotten and veiled dreams,
sometimes slowly, sometimes gaily,
sometimes lost, sometimes profound,
I walk a road of unknown mysteries,
fervently finding my way through the endless path.....

Not a love story.


He ditched me again today.  This thought had always escorted itself with a wish. A wish of him abandoning me for ever. But maybe, infact  most certainly playing with my feelings was his favourite game, a pass time and an addiction.

I sat on my terrace, watching the infinite sky yet my mind wandered in the vicinity.

'Hi baby! am back' he startled me with his usual tone and pecked my cheeks.
I managed a smile, a bitter one but he realized not. After all I was a mere play board for him.

'the sky looks so beautiful and you are equally gorgeous. So lets dance, c'mon give me your hand'
He notoriously offered his hand to me. 

I sat still eyeing the floor as if ignorant to his deceptions and frauds.
The reality was that he couldn't understand what went within me.

Its indeed strange how love, which made you so strong once could turn into your biggest weakness.
And the pain which is suppose to make you weak can provide you strength to endure so much.

I gave him my hand - again.

There had been a time when his slight touch, even his gaze could set my heart racing and blood gushing.
Today, however in spite of us being so close I felt nothing. All emotions eluded me. 

He started stroking my hair and gently whispered 'you are the most important part of my life'
I died a little more inside.

Its sad but like happiness, pain isn't infectious. 
It never 'spreads out' rather 'seeps deep in' and kills you moment by moment. word by word.

We then sat like a perfect couple.  'baby I cant imagine my world without you
He once again throw ed his friendly dice.
I died a little more inside.


People may wonder why I said nothing. Some of you may even verdict my act as naive or pity me but I choose to experience it and let the agony kill my love.
 
Coz harbouring mixed feelings is his trait. 
For me its absolute - either perfect love or pure hatred.
Till then I choose to nurture hatred like I once intoxicated your love.
I choose to suffer in silence.

  4. Love is a funny devil, can give you eternal bliss, and is equally capable of everlasting misery and pain.

    Nice read.

  8. Definitely not a love story. How long to stay in such a relation? Suffering in silence, not good. Though sadly its prevailing.

    Very well narrated sarah

  12. Sometimes, it is very difficult to let go off a person however the situation may be. We just tend to grow so dependent.. It's sad. It hurts, but we still hold on.
    This was a lovely write. Something we can all relate to :)

  13. Its sad but like happiness, pain isn't infectious.
    It never 'spreads out' rather 'seeps deep in' and kills you moment by moment. word by word.
    Sad?
    I am thankful to God that it isn't infectious...
    For me its absolute - either perfect love or pure hatred.
    Love is a weird phenomena, its happens in a second for some, or takes decades for some to really understand and accept....forcing answers isn't a smart choice?
    One should assume patience, or rather not dare enter the maze in first place :)
    Good write up :)
