To A Special Someone

Darkness descends upon me.
I cant find my path.
My mind is clouded by rage.
My senses never relax.

I am constantly reminded
Of the failure that I am
I am always expected to fall
At every place one possibly can

I am treated like some kind of investment
Without a soul of my own
I have always been an embarrassment
To everyone I've known

But then I see your face
Something inside me calms
I can think straight again
And you set off no alarms
Whoever I meet
Triggers an alarm in me
Alerting me to something not right
Alerting me to a judgmental mind
But I sense none of that from you
And for this I am grateful

I guess I just wanted to say thanks
But that seems barely sufficient
Though this life may be ephemeral
My feelings for you are permanent


P.S.: This poem is not dedicated to any real person. Though she is real to me, the rest of the world will deem her a figment of my imagination.

Thats a beautiful piece of poetry . Some how i could relate to it . So i thought of leaving a comment :) . I was surprised so see none felt like leaving a comment . Ofcourse when bollywood and Gay issues takes all their time and energy they might have not liked the post. Also i went through the post about five strengths and how it could be related to pandavas. well written !.
