Yes I take the blame

To the girl I love......

I said, "You are amazing",

She smiled

and blamed my eyes;

But

Deep down she knew,

It was her heart's ties

with mine.

I said, "You complete me",

She said, "It is you who makes me glee",

And make me free

From all the despair and agony

I said, "It is the love's symphony."

I said, " Life makes no sense without you."

And

She blamed my view.

But she didn't know

It was she, with her positive hue.

Life was a blank canvas,

She came and filled it with her colors,

Gave me a thousand shades of emotions,

From tears to Elation.

I don't know

Did I love her in the same way?

Maybe less.....maybe more?

If her love touched the ceiling,

Mine was barely above the floor.

She asked "Why me? I am no one special."

I smiled and said

"Borrow my eyes and you will see

I am the train and you are my last station,

where I can rest."

..."You are my Nest

I am the bird in the sky

To feel your warmth is all my quest "

With her....life was bliss,

Happiness was her Genesis,

She was my calm and comfort,

I was getting too much

without any effort.

She filled me with her purest love,

And all I see is My little Dove

Pouring her soul into my body,

I was the lucky man

With such a Glory.

We were the two characters of a

Happy love story.

But.....

Life isn't plane sailing,

Things went wrong

And everything started falling.

I lost my sanity

Trivial things were turned into calamity,

Connections slackened,

In short

'Life happened....'

In my Oblivion,

She was my constant companion.

She played her part

But without a horse what is the use of a cart?

She tried and tried and tried...

But my eyes were on the sand

Failed to understand.....

What she tried to say

My feet were made of clay.

The vision became blurred,

I started hurting her.

I tried to overcome

There was no way....but one

.....Not to hurt my heart I chose,

I pulled her out of my heart

Made the pouring of her love stop.

All I did without saying,

A mistake without knowing,

Thought everything would be intact,

But I was unaware of the fact...

That it would hurt her more

I cut all the ties and her love collapsed to the floor.

Things became vulnerable,

The symphony became unstable.

The bird had lost its feathers...

Her light stopped to scatter

Canvas became dull

Fate had faded the color

Things become sullen

"Love" ...where did it go?

Still, I ask myself

How did the demons in me glow?

I hurt her

Cut the wings of my Dove,

I still ask "What happened to our love?"

Her hands are gone

Now all I have is an empty glove.

A turnaround

Life became upside down.

All I have to say

"I am sorry."

I always feel Guilty,

For the things which were Filthy.

I made a mistake

Turned my love into fake.

Made excuses that were lame

Yes, I take the blame.

I can't rewrite our stars

Have to live with the scars.

Burn me and you will see tears of guilt in every flame

Yes, I take the blame.

Does it matter

Was it unintentional or not?

When I sailed on your tears with a blind boat,

It was an act full of shame

Yes, I take the blame.

On the pious love, I threw sand and silt

Now

All I have is my canvas written with guilt

She has gone

Will never come back

Here I am with a regretful sack.

What can I do now ?

I wish I could get her back somehow

"I am sorry " is the only thing I can say

The reality is... life is not a game

Yes, I take the blame.
