Nothing Without You...........

For years I have been waiting to witness my blissful love story

Waiting for her to come alive from the pages of Segal’s theory.

I have traveled the longest mile walking alone,

Now I want her to take control

Of my mind, body and soul.

I can go nuts to capture the twinkle in her eyes,

I don’t mind being a clown

If it helps in wiping off her frown.

Oh Dear! When will I get to see you?

For I want to breathe in the seventh heaven with you.

Oh Dear! When will I get to see you?

For my nirvana lies within you.

Last night she was talking to me,

whispering each word with a bestowed fragrance.

But I was all speechless,

feeling the warmth of her presence.

Damn! Something woke me up in the midst of dream and fantasy.

Alas, my life’s trajectory was a bittersweet symphony.

The next few moments were a killing lull

All the happiness transitioned into plaintive dull.

I was again brooding over that four letter word

Craving to struck the unceasingly romantic chord.

Oh Dear! When will I get to see you?

For I am so incomplete without you.

Oh Dear! When will I get to see you?

For I am really really missing you.

The void inside me is growing

Like a fungus so fecund.

Gripping me and swallowing me

With every passing second.

No longer I can hold on to this defeated change in my heart

Consumed by the seven sins tearing me apart.

I will soon reach the epitome of unbearable pain

Gradually transforming from sane to insane.

Oh Dear! When will I get to see you?

For I don’t know where am I heading without you.

Oh Dear! When will I get to see you?

For indeed my life is…Nothing Without You.
