In instances similar to this, When my heart gets enshrouded With the throbbing memories Of acheful, forgotten dreams And shattered, bleeding yesteryears, You pull me towards your body And embrace me, fiercely, With your arms-- Demanding me to let go; Begging me to share with you The heavy burden of my world-- I fight the urge to laugh and to cry; Because, darling, How can you even convince My cynical soul to open up again, When all it contains, nowadays, Are the convoluted dregs Of distrust, fear, and pain? "Conditioning" How does one pursue a heart That's hellbent on being alone? #Conditioning #diwa #yqbaba
