Smoke Gets Into My Eyes
A drop of tear
A streak of pain
A memory wedged
A feeling unexplained

I am numb, in my madness
Watching stars and children play
The world passes by
Like a spectacle outside
And I am in train

I stand at the horizon and
Watch the sun and the moon pass by
And wait
To catch them, claim them

But then I know
No one possess me
Nor I can claim one
It’s a myth of the human heart
I don’t live in it
However I long to be

I thank God for the wisdom
And also curse for the lack of ignorance
I wish I was an ordinary
Living everyday
For trivial and customary

But you gave me heart,
You gave me love
You gave me pain
To make me feel alive

I hurt myself each day
And try to break everything precious
And linger to know
If it hurts

I do not choose the easy way out
I am not a coward
Not scared of my end
No ashamed of my beginning

I experiment, I cry
I kill myself and
Many times I die

Trying to know the limits of my heart
To see, in how many pieces I can break it
I do not try to mend it
Because I have lost its pieces

Whatever maybe the end
I will survive
And still be there and
Walk till the end

Someday, you would open this diary and would try to find me
Where am I?
I may still be there or lost
I do not know
But my love would shine through the words
I wrote

Smoke is filled in my eyes
And tears are dripping
My longings still lingering
Onto my heart

I restlessly try to find you
Everywhere you ain’t present
And veer back into myself

I contain my desire and give-in to smoke
Smoke fills into my eyes
A tear obscures my vision
And I see within
I see you
