Bittersweet (November 2009)

You were my soulmate,

You were my greatest foe-

I showed you my roses,

I showed you my tears-

You gave me my dreams,

You dug up my fears.

I loved you-

I hated you,

I adored you-

I dreaded you,

I waited for you-

I despised you!

You were my solace,

You were my threat.

I wanted to sleep in your lap-

You told me how lonely I was!

You gave me death after each birth,

You showered life after each death.

You freed me-

You burdened me,

You were my blessing-

You saw me sin.

Today, we don’t meet each other-

You don’t kiss my face anymore.

O bittersweet night!

Even before you knock at my door,

Even before I hear your footsteps,

I sink into mindless slumber.

You escape into dawn without waking me up!

I had begged for this bliss, eternally!

Little did I know-

My heart has been stolen by my beloved foe!

Little did I know-

Someday, I would miss you so!!
