There was a time
There was a time
You nestled me in your embrace
Full of overwhelming love
Warmth, soothing comfort
Vibes that said you are safe here
Your troubles and pains are mine from today
Feel secure, I want to fill your life with joy
I want to kiss away your tears
Your sadness and pain, I will pray vanish
I'm there for you , today and forever
Wet Emotions and adoration, affection
Was grateful, blessed delighted
You were my sponge
That time flew away
The warmth turned to cold
Indifference, irritation and anger
The wet evergreen comfort zone
Now dry barren
Emotions disappeared,
Were they really there ?
Sensitivity slowly and steadily
Lost its shine
Insensitivity took over
Machine like existence
All mundane , all routine desires and tasks
That golden time, long over
Now in the pages of the past
As long as breath , memory
Understanding, feeling all gone
Loneliness taken over
More hurting as the heart feels betrayed
Is or was everything disillusionment?
Sure, there was a time !
