Greys

There are days I sing without melodies
There are days I cry without tears
There are days I dream with my eyes wide open.

They say life is black and white
But all we see these days are greys.

I parked my distractions at the door
& opened my heart to you
Without battling an eyelid

All you did was to break my heart
Without cracking my rib cage.

I don’t know why you did
All the wrong things for the right reasons

I learnt the hard way that
Just like the weather people do change

Our parents who once held our hands
In the dark even do drift apart
In the light.

All I ever wanted was someone
Who will stay
All I got was myself
for the rest of the day

All I ever want is some love to last,
Is that too much to ask?

There are days I sing without melodies
There are days I cry without tears
There are days I dream with my eyes wide open.
