THE LOSER

Heaps of words

Deafening noise

I got them all

when I took the centre stage.

Not until I saw you among the audience

that I acknowledged them as

accolades and applauses.

I knew you wouldn't come back

wouldn't even turn before leaving me.

Yet I kept waiting everyday

with the bleakest of hope

That atleast for a moment in those years of bliss

you would have read my eyes.

I am a changed man

Dreams, aspirations smother my heart.

Prosperity, fame and no matter what heights I attain,

your memories would keep lurking in a corner of my heart,
thumping harder everyday, that without you

I am a loser
