I've always loved silence, The melancholy feeling that comes along with it, But this time it was different, The surroundings were same, But emotions didn't seem to fit, The book in my hand didn't seem to interest me for a change, All that eagerness to turn over the new page was gone, strange, Then I realized that it was the absence of myself, Something was missing, and it was you 'Tej', It wasn't the looming darkness outside that felt odd, It was the one growing inside giving way to rage, And then I wake up, feeling stifled, Sweating profusely at 3 am on a winter night! No one to talk to, such is the plight, So again I turn to my book, This time to write down the feelings, That no one will understand had me on the hook. So thank you for being there always, Despite all my shortcomings, You're the reason I'm able to rise up again, You're the reason of my new becoming! #poetry #poetryisnotdead #heartbeat #pondering #mythoughts #tej #roadsihavetraveled #melancholy
