I am a different person when u see me in the day
Happy and busy
Keeping all emotions at bay
But there is something that keeps me up at night
I don't know if it's your memory or the hope of your sight
And though my story seems quite mundane and old
Simple, bland, common that needn't be told
I write it with just one desire
What I couldn't do in person
May be my words will transpire
Turns out, all one needs is sleeplessness and that one person to inspire
You, were that inspiration for me.
Some will accept it and some may fret
But everyone has that one song
Making our eyes wet
Reminding us, with whom we belong
You, were that song for me
There are a lot of people around
With whom I can laugh
But you and only you were the one with whom I could cry
And a man would never admit this
But to find "the one" like that is a persistent try
While people call it fate
That's how I define my soul mate
You, were that definition for me
With you gone, and the loss is hard to accommodate
I have come to realize
Though I know how to love, I can't get you to reciprocate
I may be hurt but not for once I resent
Just that I am a mere human
With a need to occasionally vent
And so I turned to writing and it feels cathartic and divine
Knowing what's lost was actually never mine
What's mine are my feelings
Which have come alive
Like a relentless emotional tide
This is a place with no present and
My future and past collide
This is where I found me
This is where I found you
This is where we realize
That I am you and
You are, me and my darkside
Really awesome..Gets the feelings out so effortlessly!

DeleteNice one.. The way you have written it totally talks about a person. Why would she ( assuming) wouldbe your dark side ? :)
